SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DoD is
hosting public meetings to obtain the
views of experts and interested parties
in Government and the private sector
regarding amending the DFARS to
implement statutory amendments and
revise policies and procedures for
acquisition of technical data and
computer software, and associated
license rights. DoD also seeks to obtain
information on the potential increase or
decrease in public costs or savings that
would result from such amendments to
the DFARS. In addition to the statutory
changes, DoD is considering
recommendations related to that
statutory subject matter that were
provided in the November 13, 2018,
Final Report of the GovernmentIndustry Advisory Panel on Technical
Data Rights (Section 813 Panel),
established pursuant to section 813 of
the National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016.
To facilitate discussion at the public
meetings, DoD anticipates publication of
advance notices of proposed
rulemaking, which will include initial
drafts of the DFARS amendments, prior
to the public meetings. This approach is
based in part on a recommendation of
the Section 813 Panel to invite industry
to participate in the drafting of rules
concerning technical data rights. For the
two public meetings listed in the DATES
section of this document, DoD
anticipates discussion of the following
DFARS cases:
• 2018–D069, Validation of
Proprietary and Technical Data, which
implements section 865 of the NDAA
for FY 2019.
• 2018–D071, Negotiation of Price for
Technical Data and Preference for
Specially Negotiated Licenses, which
implements section 835 of the NDAA
for FY 2018 and section 867 of the
NDAA for FY 2019.
After these two meetings, DoD
anticipates scheduling and hosting
additional public meetings, structured
in the same manner and for the same
overall objective, to address the
following DFARS cases:
• 2018–D070, Continuation of
Technical Data Rights during
Challenges, which implements section
866 of the NDAA for FY 2018.

proposed amending its acquisition
regulations by revising the General
Provision contract clause 5 in appendix

the Code of Federal Regulations. Those
changes included revisions and
clarifications for all types of leave for
USPSCs, including adding a new
provision for family and medical leave.
In this supplemental notice of proposed
rulemaking, we are clarifying that both
earning and use of compensatory time
off follows the same policies as apply to
USAID direct-hires, and adding
language that conforms to unchanged
provisions elsewhere in the regulation
about prorating annual and sick leave
accrual rates for less than full-time
work.
