March 25, 1997: Cost-of-Living Allowances (Nonforeign Areas); Interim Rule
-
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is publishing
interim regulations that will increase cost-of-living allowance (COLA)
rates paid to General Schedule, U.S. Postal Service, and certain other
Federal employees in Kauai County, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Because it has taken longer than expected to complete these surveys and calculate the
living-cost indexes, OPM is issuing this interim rule, which is
effective immediately, to implement the COLA rate increases. Further information may be obtained from <cola@opm.gov>. [Federal Register Regulation: PDF or text]

March 12 and 13, 1997: Proposed Laboratory Personnel Management Demonstration Projects; Department of the Army
-
Title VI of the Civil Service Reform Act, 5 U.S.C. 4703,
authorizes the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to conduct
demonstration projects that experiment with new and different personnel
management concepts to determine whether such changes in personnel
policy or procedures would result in improved Federal personnel
management. Public Law 103-337, October 5, 1994, permits the Department of
Defense (DOD), with the approval of OPM, to carry out personnel
demonstration projects at DOD Science and Technology (S&T) reinvention
laboratories. The Army is proposing a demonstration project
initially to cover five of its S&T reinvention laboratories. Each of
the laboratories vary in their approaches to classification and
compensation, performance management, and reduction in force. Further information may be obtained from Fidelma A. Donahue at <fadonahu@opm.gov>.
