SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is republishing the
proposed rule published on December 13, 2005, due to information that
was inadvertently omitted. The purpose of these regulations is to
revise the Administrative Law Judge Program. The purpose of these
revisions is to remove procedures that appear in other parts of this
chapter, update outdated information, and remove the internal examining
processes from the regulations. Additionally, these revisions describe
OPM and agency responsibilities concerning the Administrative Law Judge
Program. This proposed regulation continues the basic intent of making
administrative law judges independent in matters of tenure and
compensation.
