View Rule

This part assigns responsibilities and provides procedures for implementing a Pilot Program for the Temporary Exchange of Information Technology Personnel, known as the Information Technology Exchange Program (ITEP) pilot. This pilot is envisioned to promote the interchange of DoD and private sector IT professionals to enhance skills and competencies. Given the changing workforce dynamics in the IT field, DoD needs to take advantage of these types of professional development programs to proactively position itself to keep pace with the changes in technology. The ITEP pilot will serve the public good by enhancing the DoD IT workforce skills to protect and defend our Nation. The ITEP pilot expired September 31, 2013. Congress has extended the expiration date to September 30, 2018, and the reporting requirements through 2018. This final rule makes amendments to the current DoD ITEP regulation to update these dates.
