SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) proposes to revise
the regulations issued under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as
amended ("FLSA" or "Act") to update and harmonize OPM's regulations
with revisions made to the Department of Labor's regulations. The
revised regulations are intended to provide a clearer understanding of
coverage under the Act. These regulations apply to all employees in
agencies who are under OPM's jurisdiction for FLSA purposes.

Electronic Data Collection System.

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing final
regulations to carry out the agency reimbursement provisions of Title
II of the Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and
Retaliation Act of 2002 (No FEAR Act). The No FEAR Act requires that
the President or his designee promulgate rules to regulate agency
reimbursement of the Judgment Fund for payments made to employees,
former employees, or applicants for Federal employment because of
actual or alleged violations of Federal antidiscrimination laws,
Federal whistleblower protection laws, and/or retaliation claims
arising from the assertion of rights under those laws. This rule
implements the reimbursement provisions of Title II of the No FEAR Act.

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has authority to
conduct demonstration projects that experiment with new and different
human resources management concepts to determine whether changes in
policies and procedures result in improved Federal human resources
management. OPM approved a demonstration project covering several
operating units of the U.S. Department of Commerce (DoC). OPM must
rove modifications to demonstration project plans. This notice
rescinds the demonstration project's independent authority pertaining
to recruitment and retention payments. By so doing, it allows the
demonstration project to take advantage of the expanded recruitment and
retention flexibilities applicable to General Schedule and other
employees.
