Dear Ms. Hewson:
On September 17, 2013,1 sent you aletter soliciting your company's support ofacost-benefit analysis ofregulatory and statutory requirements that industry indicated might beimplemented more effectively, changed, or eliminated. Part ofyour support would involveproviding data, when practical, that quantifies your costs to satisfy these requirements.
Since then, we received feedback from several companies that such actual cost data mayneed to include proprietary information to sufficiently inform the analysis. The Departmentencourages you to include as much detailed information as possible—including proprietarydata—so we can better understand the cost implications of Department of Defense-imposedrequirements. In such cases, the Department will protect data specifically identified asproprietary. Unless the data owners grant explicit permission, only results that reflect aggregatedcosts across multiple companies would be shared publicly, to inform law- and policy-makers onthe relative costs and benefits of these requirements.
The Department will use, inaddition togovernment employees, support from the Institutefor Defense Analysis (IDA), a federally-funded research and development center (FFRDC) toperform this analysis.
To initiate this effort, I have directed my Assistant Secretary for Acquisition,Ms. Katrina McFarland, to host individual sessions with each of the companies that choose toparticipate, to discuss our desired outcomes and solicit your feedback on feasible approaches. Ifyou wish to participate, please have your representative contact Dr. Mark Husband, PerformanceAssessment and Root Cause Analyses, to schedule a session with Ms. McFarland and our team.Dr. Husband can bereached at 571-256-1686 [email protected].
