SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing proposed
regulations to implement statutory provisions that establish a new
performance-based pay system for the Senior Executive Service (SES) and
a higher aggregate limitation on pay for SES members and employees in
senior-level (SL) and scientific or professional (ST) positions. These
regulations prescribe the criteria for the administration of rates of
basic pay and performance awards under the SES performance-based pay
system and the rules for applying the aggregate limitation on pay.

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing interim
regulations jointly with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to
implement a statutory provision that strengthens the relationship
between the performance and pay of senior employees of the Federal
Government. These regulations establish rigorous conditions regarding
an agency's performance appraisal systems for senior employees which,
if met, would allow its appraisal systems to be certified. These
regulations set forth the criteria and procedural requirements for such
certification.

L. 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that the Office of
Personnel Management (OPM) intends to submit to the Office of
Management and Budget a request for review of an expiring information
collection. OPM Form 1644, Child Care Provider Information: Child Care
Tuition Assistance Program for Federal Employees, is used to verify
that child care providers are licensed or regulated by local or State
authorities, as appropriate. Public Law 106-58 passed by Congress on
September 29, 1999, permits Federal agencies to use appropriated funds
to help their lower income employees with their costs for child care
provided by a contractor licensed or regulated by local or State
authorities, as appropriate. Therefore, agencies need to verify that
child care providers to whom they make disbursements in the form of
child care subsidies meet the statutory requirement. We estimate
approximately 2000 OPM 1644 forms will be completed annually. The form
will take approximately 10 minutes to complete by each provider. The
annual estimated burden is 333.3 hours.
