Abstract:
The Office of Personnel Management is proposing regulations covering the operation and administration of the Reemployment Priority List (RPL). The RPL provides competitive service employees, separated by reduction in force, with the first opportunity for reemployment in their former agency over candidates who do not work for the agency. The RPL also provides the same priority to former employees who were separated or downgraded because of a compensable injury or disability and have fully recovered more than one year after compensation began. These proposed regulations would update RPL procedures in order to assist agencies in providing displaced employees with maximum reemployment opportunities.

5 CFR 410
Legal Deadline:
None
Abstract:
Section 410.309 of title 5, CFR (continued service agreements) and 5 CFR 410.404 (expenses of training and meetings) need clarification. 5 CFR 410.309, as written, omits allowance for agency heads to delegate authority to define requirements for continued service. It also omits circumstances when the requirement for continued service can be waived, which has caused confusion for agencies in developing their continued service agreements. Amending 5 CFR 410.309 returns to regulation, language removed in 1996 that has had the unintended effect of limiting agency head authority in the area of continued service agreements for training. With increasing interest in academic education and service agreements, agencies have expressed concern about their legal authority with regard to these agreements.
As written, 5 CFR 410.404 does not sufficiently clarify distinctions between training and meetings. 5 U.S.C. 4109 provides agencies authority to pay the expenses of training. 5 U.S.C. 4110 provides them authority to pay the expenses of meetings. However, 5 CFR 410.404 blurs the distinctions between these two; amending it would make clear the distinctions and clarify conditions under which a meeting may be considered training.

Abstract:
Under current regulations, locality pay area boundaries change automatically whenever the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) modifies the geographic coverage of a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) or a consolidated metropolitan statistical area. OMB plans wholesale modifications in metropolitan area definitions in 2003 based on new criteria and 2000 census data. We plan to tie our locality pay area definitions to the geographic coverage of MSAs as defined in OMB Bulletin 99-4 so that locality pay area boundaries will not automatically change when OMB revises its metropolitan area definitions. This will allow the President's Pay Agent and the Federal Salary Council the opportunity to review the new metropolitan area definitions to see if they are appropriate for use in the locality pay program.
