ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:
The Department of Defense
(DoD or ‘‘the Department’’), is proposing
to establish a higher initial maximum
uniform allowance to procure and issue
uniform items for uniformed security
guard personnel. This proposal is
pursuant to the authority granted to DoD
by section 591.104 of title 5, Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), which states
that an agency may establish one or
more initial maximum uniform
allowance rates greater than the
Governmentwide maximum uniform
allowance rate established under 5 CFR
591.103.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before May 9, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Address all comments
concerning this notice to Cheryl A.

items for uniformed security guard
personnel. This is being established in
accordance with 5 CFR 591.104, which
states that an agency may establish one
or more initial maximum uniform
allowance rates greater than the
Governmentwide maximum uniform
allowance rate established under 5 CFR
591.103.
The current $800.00 limit has become
inadequate to maintain the uniform
standards and professional image
expected of Federal uniformed security
guards. The uniform items for
uniformed security guard personnel
include the following items or similar
items such as: Winter gloves; battle
dress uniform pants and blouses; cold
weather and light weight duty jackets;
duty sweaters; dress duty trousers; short
sleeve summer and long sleeve winter
duty dress shirts; jacket and pants rain
gear; felt hats; duty caps; high gloss duty
shoes; leather duty boots; duty ties;
heavy duty battle dress uniform duty
coats; cloth uniform insignia patches
and cloth uniform badges. The average
total uniform cost for the listed items is
$1,800.00. Based on these current costs,
the Department is proposing to increase
the initial maximum uniform allowance
for uniformed police personnel to
$1,800.00. The number of uniformed
security guard personnel affected by this
change in the Department would be
approximately 3,400 employees. The
proposed effective date of this higher
initial maximum uniform allowance rate
is April 1, 2016.
Dated: April 4, 2016.
