SUBJECT: Determination of the Statutory Formula Benchmark Compensation Amount for Fiscal Years 2013 and 2014 for Certain Executives and Contractor Employees, Pursuant to Section 39 of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act, as amended (41 U.S.C. 1127) This memorandum sets forth the benchmark compensation amount for certain employees of Federal Government contractors as required by Section 39 of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) Act, as amended (41 U.S.C. 1127, otherwise known as the statutory formula cap) for the cost allowability purposes of section 4304(a)(16) of title 41 and section 2324(e)(1)(P) of title 10 for covered contracts awarded before June 24, 2014. For covered contracts awarded on or after June 24, 2014, a new cap applies pursuant to section 702 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 (BBA), Pub. L. 113– 67, December 26, 2013. For contracts awarded prior to June 24, 2014, section 1127 limits the reimbursement or allowability of compensation costs under Federal Government contracts as implemented at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 31.205–6(p). In less technical terms, the statutory formula cap places a ceiling on the total annual compensation costs the Federal Government will reimburse a contractor for the compensation package the contractor provides to certain of its employees for work done pursuant to certain Federal Government covered contracts. This statutory formula cap applies to limit the reimbursement of the compensation costs of certain contractor senior executives on covered contracts with civilian and defense agencies. Additionally, as a result of changes made by section 803 of the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2012, Public Law 112–81, December 31, 2011, for covered contracts with defense agencies (i.e., DOD, NASA and Coast Guard), the statutory formula cap was expanded to cover all other contractor employees and applies to the compensation costs incurred after E:\FR\FM\15MRN1.SGM 15MRN1

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Unemployment Compensation for Ex-Servicemembers Handbook 
information collection. The Unemployment Compensation for Ex-
Servicemembers Act (UCXA), 5 U.S.C. 8521 et seq., provides unemployment 
insurance protection to former members of the Armed Forces. The UCXA 
requires a State Workforce Agency (SWA) to administer the Unemployment 
Compensation for Ex-Servicemembers (UCX) Program in accordance with the 
same terms and conditions of State unemployment insurance law that 
apply to unemployed claimants who have worked in the private sector. 
Each SWA must obtain certain military service information about a 
claimant filing for UCX benefits in order to make a benefit-eligibility 
determination. A SWA may record or obtain required UCX information on 
Form ETA-843, Request for Military Document and Information. Use of 
this form may be essential to the UCX claims process. Optional-use Form 
ETA-841, Request for Determination of Federal Military Service and 
Wages, is also part of this information collection. Information 
pertaining to the UCX claimant can only be obtained from the

[[Page 13833]]

individual's military discharge papers, the appropriate branch of 
military service, or the Department of Veterans' Affairs. Without a 
claimant's military information, a SWA cannot adequately determine the 
eligibility of ex-servicemembers and would not be properly able to 
administer the program. UCXA section 3 and Social Security Act section 
303(a)(6) authorize this information collection. See 5 U.S.C. 8523; 42 
U.S.C. 503(a)(6).
    This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency 
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and 
the public is generally not required to respond to an information 
collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays 
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any 
other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to 
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that 
does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection 
under Control Number 1205-0176.
    OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) 
years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is 
scheduled to expire on March 31, 2016. The DOL seeks to extend PRA 
authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years, 
without any change to existing requirements. The DOL notes that 
existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB 
receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For 
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related 
notice published in the Federal Register on August 12, 2015 (80 FR

the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1205-0176. 
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
