Document Number: 2011-13704
Type: Notice
Date: 2011-06-02
Agency: Office of Personnel Management, Personnel Management Office, Agencies and Commissions
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is cancelling the Optional Application for Federal Employment.

This action is being taken to facilitate a more seamless employment application process for both Federal agencies and job seekers, consistent with the goals of Federal hiring reform.
