Comments:

You state that the process to address the circumstances under which an employee receiving a retained rate under 9901.335 may receive a lump-sum performance payout will be defined at a later date in an issuance or policy from the DoD in 9901.342(d)(6). 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?
