Comments:

You state that the process for establishing a pay system that governs the setting and adjusting of covered employees' rates of pay and the setting of covered employees' rates of premium pay will be defined at a later date in an issuance or policy from the DoD in 9901.311. Why isn't this process defined now and published in the Federal Register? Why did the DoD publish a proposal that isn't fully defined? Is the intent of the DoD to publish issuances at a later date so that these issuances do not have Congressional oversight and employee representation?
