Sec. 470.311  Final project approval.

    (a) The Office of Personnel Management will consider all timely 
relevant oral and written views, arguments, and data before final

public, labor organizations, and affected employees. OPM will not permit 
the agency to implement the project until all required consultation or 
negotiation has been completed, including the conclusion of impasse 
resolution and negotiability disputes.
    (b) The Office of Personnel Management shall provide a copy of the 
final version of the project plan to each House of the Congress at least 
90 days in advance of the date the project is to take effect.
    (c) Agencies involved in the project shall communicate the content 
of the final project plan to:
    (1) Labor organizations and affected employees; and
    (2) Individuals and groups known to be interested in the project's 
activities.
