On December 10, 2010 (75 FR

of approval of a personnel management
demonstration project for eligible ONR
employees. Within that notice, there

discovered. Additionally, after the
publication of the notice and

effective personnel management
practices, amendments need to be made
to provide better consistency in the use
of the extended probationary periods for
newly hired employees, and to more
thoroughly cite the waivers to
regulations required to apply these

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June
10, 2013, a notice of proposed
amendments and administrative
corrections (78 FR 34655–34656) was
published for a 30-day comment period.
No comments were received on or
before July 10, 2013. This notice makes
the amendments and administrative
corrections to the demonstration project.
Modifications
1. On page 77390, section III.F.
Extended Probationary Period, replace
the section with: All current laws and
regulations for the current probationary
period are retained with the exception
of new employees hired under the
demonstration. Candidates hired into
the Administrative Support (NC) career
track will serve a one year probationary
period; candidates hired into the
Administrative Specialist and
Professional (NO) career track will serve
a two year probationary period; and
candidates hired into the Science and
Engineering Professional (NP) career
track will serve a three year
probationary period. Employees with

veterans’ preference will maintain their
rights under current law and regulation.
Reason for amendment: This change
allows consistent application of the
extended probationary period, and
better aligns the probationary period
with the time needed to demonstrate
satisfactory performance within each
individual career track.
2. On page 77402, figure number in
footer on bottom of ‘‘Eligibility Chart for
Pay Increases’’: Replace ‘‘Figure 10.
Eligibility Chart for Pay Increases’’ with
‘‘Figure 9. Eligibility Chart for Pay
Increases’’.
Reason for change: To correct
typographical errors in the figure
number.
3. On page 77403, Section IV.C.8.b.
Advancements in Pay Band Which Must
be Approved by the Executive Director,
replace the section with: Advancement
to (1) Pay Bands outside target pay
bands or established position
management criteria, and (2) Pay Band
V of the S&E Professional Career Track
require approval by the Executive
Director without further delegation.
Details regarding the process for
nomination and consideration, format,
selection criteria, and other aspects of
this process will be addressed in the
standard operating procedures and/or
related instruction.
Reason for amendment: Removing the
requirement of Executive Director
approval for advancements in Pay
Bands IV and V of the Administrative
Specialist and Professional Career
Track, and Pay Band IV of the S&E
Career Track provides department heads
and senior leadership a path to advance
employees appropriately through the
pay pool panel process. Since the
determination of suitability for
advancement rests with the department
heads and other senior leadership
(including the pay pool managers), this
change simply places the authority to
approve such decisions with those
determining their appropriateness,
while retaining the Pay Pool Review
Authority’s full authority and
responsibility through the Pay Pool
Panel review process.
4. On page 77416, right hand column,
third block Part 351, subpart G, section
351.701—Assignment Involving
Displacement, replace paragraph (a)
with: Waive to allow minimally
successful or equivalent to be defined as
an employee who does not have a
current written notice of unacceptable
performance.
Reason for amendment: This change
is to prevent any possible categorization
of an employee as ‘‘unacceptable’’ in
terms of RIF, when that employee is
overcompensated as a result of coming

off of maintained pay and does not
receive any increase during the CCS
payout, but whose performance was
acceptable.
5. On page 77416, right hand column,

Reason for change: To correct
typographical errors.

subpart I, section 5301—Pay Policy.
Waive in entirety.’’ with ‘‘Chapter 53,

entirety.’’
Reason for change: To correct
typographical errors.
8. On page 77419, left hand column,
third block: Replace ‘‘Chapter 55,

to the extent necessary to allow
extended probationary periods and to
permit termination during the extended
probationary period without using
adverse action procedures for those
individuals serving a probationary
period under an initial appointment
except for those with veterans’
preference.’’
Reason for amendment: This
amendment allows ONR to fully utilize
its flexibility of extended probationary
periods by permitting terminations
during these extended probationary
periods.
10. On page 77420, right hand
column, first block Appendix B:
Required Waivers to Laws and
Regulations chart, add this paragraph to
the block (currently blank): ‘‘Part 752,
sections, 752.201 and 752.401: Principal

ACTION:
The notice of an open meeting
scheduled for October 16, 2013
published in the Federal Register on
October 2, 2013 (78 FR 60864) has been
cancelled due to the Government
Furlough and will be rescheduled at a

Defense was unable to provide
appropriate notification as required by

Advisory Committee Management
Officer for the Department of Defense,
pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.150(b),
waives the 15-calendar day notification
requirement.
