Office of the Secretary June 10, 2013 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On December 10, 2010 (75 FR 77380-77447), DoD published a notice of approval of a personnel management demonstration project for eligible ONR employees. Within that notice, there were several typographical errors discovered. Additionally, after the publication of the notice and implementation of the demonstration project, ONR determined that for 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 extended probationary periods. Amendments must also be made to better define minimally successful performance for assignments involving displacement, and to remove the requirement that advancements in certain Pay Bands need Executive Director's approval. This notice makes the required corrections and amendments.
