the active voice, reorganize material for added clarity, insert or
revise headings to accurately reflect content, reduce internal cross-
referencing, correct typographical, punctuation, and grammatical
errors, and use "plain English." The proposed rule also includes guidance
published in the sunsetted Federal Personnel Manual (FPM), adds certain
work in the computer software field to the professional exemption
criteria, adds an exemption for certain pilots, adds the statutory
exclusion of customs officers, and includes regulations on child labor
and claims and compliance. Further information may be obtained from <adomsoe@opm.gov>. [Federal Register Regulation: PDF or text] See also the minor correction published in the Federal Register on September 25, 1997.
