ACTION: Notice of amendment of the demonstration project plan. SUMMARY: Section 342(b) of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 1995, as amended (10 U.S.C. 2358 note) by section 1109 of NDAA FY 2000 and section 1114 of NDAA FY 2001, authorizes the Secretary of Defense to conduct personnel demonstration projects at DoD laboratories designated as Science and Technology Reinvention Laboratories (STRLs). The above-cited legislation authorizes DoD to conduct demonstration projects to determine whether a specified change in personnel management policies or procedures would result in improved Federal personnel management. This amendment revises the Air Force Research Laboratory’s (AFRL) personnel management demonstration project plan by providing flexibility to change the job categories in the future, eliminating the mandatory use of and providing guidance on optional use of Contribution-based Compensation System (CCS) factor weights. DATES: This amendment to the demonstration project may be implemented beginning on the date of the publication of this notice in the Federal Register. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: AFRL: Ms. Michelle Williams, AFRL/ DPL, 1864 4th Street, WrightPatterson AFB, Ohio 45433–7130. DoD: Ms. Betty A. Duffield, CPMS– PSSC, Suite B–200, 1400 Key Boulevard, Arlington, VA 22209– 5144. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1. Background The AFRL Personnel Management Demonstration Project’s final plan was PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 15463 published in the Federal Register November 27, 1996 (61 FR 60399). This demonstration project involves simplified job classifications, two types of appointment authorities, an extended probationary period, pay banding, and a CCS. Two amendments to the final plan have been published in the Federal Register. The first amendment to clarify which employees are subject to the extended probationary period; provide the CCS bonus to eligible employees subject to the GS–15, step 10 pay cap; and change the name of broadband level descriptor ‘‘Cooperation and Supervision’’ and CCS Factor 6 ‘‘Cooperation and Supervision’’ to ‘‘Teamwork and Leadership’’ was published in the Federal Register January 21, 2000 (65 FR 3498). The second amendment changed the amount of time required to be assessed under CCS from 180 to 90 calendar days and was published in Federal Register October 18, 2005 (70 FR 60495). 2. Overview Through the past twelve CCS cycles, experience has revealed that guidelines for setting factor weights are overly restrictive and the six (originally five) job categories used for assessment may need to be modified or expanded to cover new and emergent work. This amendment gives more flexibility and authority to the Pay Pool Manager to use and set CCS factor weights and establish and use job categories as the need for new professional skills emerges within the laboratory environment. I. Executive Summary The Department of the Air Force established the AFRL personnel management demonstration project to be generally similar to the Department of the Navy China Lake personnel demonstration project. The AFRL demonstration project was built upon the concepts of a contribution-based compensation system, pay banding, two appointing authorities, extended probationary period, and simplified classification procedures. II. Introduction Purpose The AFRL Demonstration Project provides managers, at the lowest practical level, the authority and flexibility needed to achieve a quality laboratory and quality research. The purpose of this notice is to provide flexibility to change the job categories, eliminate the mandatory use of and provide guidance on optional use of Contribution-based Compensation System (CCS) factor weights in an effort E:\FR\FM\06APN1.SGM 06APN1
