ACTION: Notice of amendment to this demonstration in order to list all organizations that are eligible to participate in the project and make the resulting adjustments to the table that describes the project's workforce demographics and union representation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Department of Defense (DoD), with the approval of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), may conduct a personnel demonstration project within DoD's civilian acquisition workforce and those supporting personnel assigned to work directly with it. (See Section 4308 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996 (Pub. L. 104-106; 10 U.S.C.A. Sec. 1701 note), as amended by section 845 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998 (Pub. L. 105-85)). This notice amends the project plan for this demonstration to list as eligible to participate (1) all organizations composed of civilian acquisition workforce members, that is, personnel in acquisition positions designated pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 1721 and (2) all organizations with teams of personnel in which more than half the team consists of members of the acquisition workforce and the remainder consists of supporting personnel assigned to work directly with the acquisition workforce. The notice also makes the resulting adjustments to the table that describes the project's demographics and union representation. DATES: This amendment is effective July 1, 2002. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: DoD: Anthony D. Echols, Civilian Acquisition Workforce Personnel Demonstration Project, 2001 North Beauregard Street, Suite 750, Alexandria, VA 22311, 703-681-3553. OPM: Mary Lamary, U.S. Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E Street NW., Room 7460, Washington, DC 20415, 202-606-2820. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1. Background OPM approved and published the project plan for the Civilian Acquisition Workforce Personnel Demonstration Project in the Federal Register on January 8, 1999 (Volume 64, Number 5, part VII). An amendment was published in the May 21, 2001, Federal Register, Volume 66, Number 98, to (1) correct discrepancies in the list of occupational series included in the project and (2) authorize managers to offer a buy-in to Federal employees entering the project after initial implementation. A second amendment was published in the April 24, 2002, Federal Register, Volume 67, Number 79 to (1) make employees in the top broadband level of their career path eligible to receive a ``very high'' overall contribution score (OCS) and (2) reduce the minimum rating period under the Contribution-based Compensation and Appraisal System (CCAS) to 90 consecutive calendar days. This demonstration project involves hiring and appointment authorities; broadbanding; simplified classification; a contribution-based compensation and appraisal system; revised reduction-in-force procedures; academic degree and certificate training; and sabbaticals. 2. Overview This amendment will reduce the need for future Federal Register amendments regarding project coverage by listing all organizations that are eligible to participate in this demonstration. Further, this amendment makes the resulting adjustments to the project's demographics and union representation. Dated: June 26, 2002. Office of Personnel Management. Kay Coles James, Director. I. Executive Summary The project was designed by a Process Action Team (PAT) under the authority of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology, with the participation of and review by DoD and OPM. The purpose of the project is to enhance the quality, professionalism, and management of the DoD acquisition workforce through improvements in the human resources management system. [[Page 44251]] II. Introduction This demonstration project provides managers, at the lowest practical level, the authority, control, and flexibility they need to achieve quality acquisition processes and quality products. This project not only provides a system that retains, recognizes, and rewards employees for their contribution, but also supports their personal and professional growth. A. Purpose The purpose of this notice is to list all organizations that are eligible to participate in the Civilian Acquisition Workforce Personnel Demonstration Project. A comprehensive table will reduce the need for future Federal Register amendments. Other provisions of the approved plan are unchanged. Pursuant to 5 CFR 470.315, changes are hereby made to the Federal Register, Civilian Acquisition Workforce Personnel Demonstration Project; Department of Defense; Notice, Friday, January 8, 1999, Volume 64, Number 5, Part VII, pages 1432-7 and 1447. B. Employee Notification and Collective Bargaining Requirements The demonstration project program office shall notify employees of this amendment by posting it on demonstration's web site (http:// www.acq.osd.mil/acqdemo/new--site). As stated in the existing demonstration project plan, ``Employees within a unit to which a labor organization is accorded exclusive recognition under Chapter 71 of title 5, United States Code, shall not be included as part of the demonstration project unless the exclusive representative and the agency have entered into a written agreement covering participation in and implementation of the project'' (Ibid., p. 1432, section II. D., first paragraph). III. Personnel System Changes 1. Section II. E. Delete all of Section II. E. and replace it with the following: E.

Section II F.: Delete the entire first paragraph of Section II. F. and replace it with the following two paragraphs: In determining the scope of the demonstration project, primary consideration was given to the number and diversity of occupations within (1) the DoD acquisition workforce and (2) the teams of personnel, more than half of which consist of members of the acquisition workforce and the remainder of supporting personnel assigned to work directly with the acquisition workforce. This can include positions in the following fields, as well as any other position or group of positions in acquisition-related fields or that perform acquisition-related duties: program management; systems planning, research, development, engineering, and testing; procurement, including contracting; industrial property management; logistics; quality control and assurance; manufacturing and production; business, cost estimating, financial management, and auditing; education, training, and career development; construction; and joint development and production with other Government agencies and foreign governments. Additionally, in determining the scope of the demonstration project, current DoD human resources management design goals and priorities for the entire civilian workforce were [[Page 44256]] considered. While the intent of this project is to provide DoD activities with increased control and accountability for their covered workforce, the decision was made to restrict development efforts initially to covered General Schedule (GS) positions. Employees covered under the Performance Management and Recognition System Termination Act (pay plan code GM) are General Schedule employees and are covered under the demonstration project. 3. Replace current Table 3 and the first sentence of the final paragraph of Section II. F. with the following: Table 3.--DoD Acquisition Workforce Demographics and Union Representation ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Career Paths: Business Management & Technical Management Professional.... 95,821 Technical Management Support............................... 1,084 Administrative Support..................................... 3,389 ---------- Total.................................................. *100,294 ========== DoD Components: DoD Agencies............................................... 23,574 Air Force.................................................. 16,969 Army....................................................... 33,180 Navy....................................................... 25,823 Marine Corps............................................... 748 ---------- Total.................................................. *100,294 ========== Occupational Families 22....................................

Although more than 100,000 employees have been identified for eligibility to participate in this demonstration project, the project is limited by statute to a maximum of 95,000 participants at any given time. Of the approximately 100,000 personnel currently eligible to participate in the project, 55 percent are represented by labor unions. The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE), and the National Association of Government Employees (NAGE) represent the vast majority of bargaining unit employees.
