appeal directly to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) without
having to request OPM to review its initial decision. The regulation
streamlines processing of claims under the CSRS and brings OPM's CSRS

Regulations, that places certain restrictions on agency hiring during

to streamline hiring processes and eliminate unnecessary appointing
authorities. Agencies would continue to use temporary limited
appointments or student temporary appointments, as appropriate, to
appoint individuals during the summer. Further information may be obtained from Karen Jacobs at <kkjacobs@opm.gov> or Mike Mahoney at <mjmahone@opm.gov>. [Federal Register Regulation: PDF or text]
