General and Miscellaneous
-
SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing final
regulations to remove its regulation concerning the submission of
claims by preference eligibles to OPM and the recognition of
representatives by OPM. The purpose of this revision to part 990 is to
eliminate the part because it is obsolete. OPM no longer adjudicates
claims or appeals under sections 3502, 3503, or 7701 of title 5, United
States Code. That appellate function was vested in the Merit Systems
Protection Board, created by the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978.
Accordingly, there is no basis to retain the provisions of part 990 in
the Code of Federal Regulations.

Suitability
-
SUMMARY: In support of its mission to ensure the Federal Government has
an effective civilian workforce, the Office of Personnel Management
(OPM) is proposing to amend its regulations governing Federal
employment suitability. The proposed regulations would: authorize
agencies to debar from employment for up to three years those found
unsuitable, extend the suitability process to those applying for or who
are in positions that can be non-competitively converted to the
competitive service, provide additional procedural protections for
those found unsuitable for Federal employment, and clarify the scope of
authority for the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB or Board) to
review actions taken under the regulations. OPM is also proposing
changes to make the regulations more readable.
