    (a) OPM will determine the profit or fee prenegotiation objective 
(service charge) portion of FEHBP contracts by use of a weighted 
guidelines structured approach when the pricing of such contracts is 
determined by cost analysis. The service charge so determined shall be 
the total service charge that may be negotiated for the contract and 
shall encompass any service charge (whether entitled service charge, 
profit, fee, contribution to reserves or surpluses, or any other title) 
that may have been negotiated by the prime contractor with any 
subcontractor or underwriter.
    (b) OPM will not guarantee a minimum service charge.
