PART 2--PILOT PROGRAM POLICY--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 2.4  Designation of participating programs.

    (a) Pilot programs may be nominated by a DoD Component Head or 
Component Acquisition Executive for participation in the Defense 
Acquisition Pilot Program. The Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Technology shall determine which specific programs will 
participate in the pilot program and will transmit to the Congressional 
defense committees a written notification of each defense acquisition 
program proposed for participation in the pilot program. Programs 
proposed for participation must be specifically designated as 
participants in the Defense Acquisition Pilot Program in a law 
authorizing appropriations for such programs and provisions of law to be 
waived must be specifically authorized for waiver.
    (b) Once included in the Defense Acquisition Pilot Program, decision 
and approval authority for the participating program shall be delegated 
to the lowest level allowed in the acquisition regulations consistent 
with the total cost of the program (e.g., under DoD Directive 5000.1, 
\3\ an acquisition program that is a major defense acquisition program 
would be delegated to the appropriate Component Acquisition Executive as 
an acquisition category IC program)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (c) At the time of nomination approval, the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Technology will establish measures to judge 
the success of a specific program, and will also establish a means of 
reporting progress towards the measures.
