RIN 3206–AL18
Time-in-Grade Eliminated, Delay of
Effective Date
AGENCY: Office of Personnel
Management.
ACTION: Final rule; delay of the effective
date.
SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) is extending the
effective date of the final rule, titled
Time-in-Grade Elimination, published
in the Federal Register on November 7,
2008, for an additional 90 days, from
May 18, 2009 to August 16, 2009. OPM
is extending the effective date to address
comments received from the March 9,
2009, Federal Register rule, and the
May 11, 2009, Federal Register
proposed rule.
DATES: The effective date for the final
rule published in the Federal Register
on November 7, 2008 (73 FR 66157),
that was delayed until May 18, 2009
(March, 9, 2009, 74 FR 9951), is delayed
until August 16, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Janice Warren by telephone (202) 606–

On May
11, 2009, the U.S. Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) published in the
Federal Register (74 FR 21771) a
proposed rule proposing to extend the
final rule’s effective date to August 16,
2009. The purpose of the proposed
extension is to delay the effective date
so that OPM may thoroughly review and
consider the comments received from
the March 9, 2009, Federal Register rule
(74 FR 9951) to consider issues of law
and policy raised by the November 7,

2008, final rule. The public comment
period for the proposal to extend and/
or revoking the final regulation ended
on May 12, 2009. A discussion of the
comments follows.
OPM received comments from four
agencies, one employee organization,
and six individuals on the proposal to
extend the effective date. All four
agencies and the employee organization
supported OPM’s proposal to extend the
effective date of the final regulation. Six
individuals opposed the proposed delay
of the effective date. Two individuals
believe the delay would cause
additional confusion for agency
personnel staff. Four individuals
commented the delay in effective date
would unfairly penalize highperforming employees who otherwise
might be eligible for promotions despite
not meeting the time-in-grade
requirement.
OPM has carefully considered these
comments and has decided to delay the
effective date of the final regulation
until August 16, 2009. We note the
current administration has not had
adequate time to assess the impact of
TIG removal. Further, we believe a
delay in the effective date will provide
us the opportunity to consider
additional comments from the May 11,
2009 proposed rule to consider issues of
law and policy raised by OPM’s
November 7, 2008 final rule. We also do
not wish agencies to undertake the
significant effort and expense that will
likely result to achieve the changes that
would be required if the rule were to go
into effect on May 18, 2009, which
might be unnecessary if OPM decides to
modify the rule.

Director.
