Higher Initial Maximum Uniform Allowance Rate; Uniform Allowances
AGENCY: Department of Defense; Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of
Defense (Civilian Personnel Policy).
ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: 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 police personnel. This
proposal is pursuant to the authority granted to DoD by Sec. 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: The Department must receive comments on or before December 11,
2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DoD is proposing to implement a higher
initial maximum uniform allowance to procure and issue uniform items
for uniformed police personnel. This is being proposed 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 $400.00 limit has become inadequate to maintain
the uniform standards and professional image expected of Federal police
officers. The uniform items for uniformed police personnel include the
following items or similar items such as: Goretex gloves; 6-pocket
pants; 4-pocket long sleeve shirts; cold weather duty jackets; light
weight duty jackets; sweaters; all season trousers; summer duty shirts;
winter duty shirts; raincoats; sheriff's type hats; ties; shoes;
leather boots; heavy duty coats; shoulder patches, and cloth 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 police personnel affected by this
challenge in the Department would be approximately 5,000 employees. The
proposed effective date of this higher initial maximum uniform
allowance rate is December 1, 2006.
Dated: October 2, 2006.
