| | GAO-06-87R, Review of OMB Circular A-76 Health Benefit Cost Factor Needed |
 | | Source: Circular A-76, attachments C and D. [A] Circular A-76 defines basic pay as a civilian employee's annual salary plus other applicable employee pay entitlements, such as premium pay for civilian law enforcement officers. |
 | | FOOTNOTES [1] OMB Circular A-76, Performance of Commercial Activities, revised in May 2003, establishes federal policy and procedures for determining whether commercial activities should be performed in-house, by another federal agency, or by the private sector. |
 | | However, the insurance and health benefit cost factor used in Circular A-76 is based only on the costs borne by the government (not enrollee premiums) and only on behalf of active federal employees (not retirees). |
