The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing proposed regulations that provide agencies with the option of establishing a reduction in force (RIF) competitive area comprised only of pay band positions. An agency would have this option only when the competitive area would otherwise include pay band positions and other positions not covered by a pay band system.

In support of its mission to ensure the Federal Government has an effective civilian workforce, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing final regulations governing Federal employment suitability. The final regulations authorize agencies to debar from employment for up to three years those found unsuitable, extend the suitability process to those applying for or who are in positions that can be non-competitively converted to the competitive service, provide additional procedural protections for those found unsuitable for Federal employment, and clarify the scope of authority for the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) to review actions taken under the regulations. The changes also make the regulations more readable.
