Office of Personnel Management June 26, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing final regulations pertaining to recruitment and selection through the competitive examination process. The purpose of this rule is to clarify the distinction among objections, pass overs, and suitability determinations. OPM is also adopting two new definitions to further clarify the distinction between an objection and a pass over request. Additionally, OPM is removing an obsolete section in this part dealing with filling certain postmaster positions.
