Revision of Information Collection: Combined Federal Campaign Applications
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this notice announces that the Office of Personnel Management requests approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to renew a previously approved information collection, Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) Charity Applications, OMB Control No. 3206-0269, OPM Forms 1647- A, -B, and -E. OPM uses these documents to review the eligibility of national, international, and local charitable organizations and Department of Defense morale, welfare, and recreation (MWR)/Family Support and Youth Activities/Programs (FSYA/FSYP) organizations that wish to participate in the CFC. The proposed revisions reflect improvements in the form instructions and the addition of optional fields for charities to detail the kinds of volunteer opportunities Federal employees might consider for personal service hours (outside working hours). On August 11, 2022, OPM published a 60-day notice and request for comments at 87 FR 49619. OPM received no comments. There are, therefore, no recommended revisions to this ICR. We estimate 6,000 responses to this information collection annually. Each form takes approximately two hours to complete. The annual estimated burden is 12,000 hours.

Retirement: Members of Congress and Congressional Employees
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is proposing this rule to amend the CFR for purposes of ensuring these regulations reflect the provisions enacted under the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (``2012 Act'') and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 (``2013 Act''). The 2012 Act made significant changes to the retirement benefits of Members of Congress (Members) or congressional employees who are first covered by the Federal Employees' Retirement System (FERS) after December 31, 2012. The 2012 Act decreased the FERS benefit accrual rate used in the FERS annuity calculation for congressional employees or Members first covered by FERS (or reelected with less than five years of FERS service) after December 31, 2012. The 2012 Act also increased the FERS employee contributions by 1.8 percentage points for Members first covered by FERS (or reelected with less than five years of FERS-covered service) after December 31, 2012. Enactment of the 2013 Act, further increased the FERS employee deductions by an additional 1.3 percentage points for all FERS-covered employees first covered by FERS after December 31, 2013 (or rehired/ reelected with less than five years of FERS-covered service), including Members and congressional employees. OPM's proposed rule amends the CFR to reflect these changes.
Enhancing Stability and Flexibility for the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP)-Abbreviated Underwriting, Applications for FLTCIP Coverage, and Technical Corrections
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a final regulation to support enhancing stability and flexibility in FLTCIP by amending when abbreviated underwriting will be offered to prospective enrollees and finalizing rules for the suspension of applications for coverage and the requirements around any such suspension periods. OPM is also finalizing technical corrections for the sake of clarity and to remove redundancies. This final rule adopts the proposed regulations with one technical change correcting the provision related to the Federal appeals board that is delegated the authority to resolve contract disputes between the Carrier and OPM. Finally, OPM may effectuate a suspension period after publication of this final rule with a separate document in the Federal Register.

Probation on Initial Appointment to a Competitive Position, Performance-Based Reduction in Grade and Removal Actions and Adverse Actions
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing final regulations governing probation on initial appointment to a competitive position, performance-based reduction in grade and removal actions, and adverse actions. The final rule rescinds certain regulatory changes made effective on November 16, 2020, and implements new statutory requirements for Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) procedural and appeal rights for dual status National Guard technicians for certain adverse actions. OPM believes the final revisions will support implementation of an Executive order to empower agencies to rebuild the career Federal workforce and protect the civil service rights of their employees, while preserving appropriate mechanisms for pursuing personnel actions where warranted.
