amounts included for 2003 in this budget reflect the Administration's 
2003 policy proposals.

    The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has responded to President 
George W. Bush's charge to assume greater responsibility for the 
strategic management of human capital government-wide by crafting a new 
Strategic Plan.

    This plan holds OPM accountable for Federal agencies adopting human 
resources management systems that use effective merit-based human 
capital strategies that, in turn, improve their ability to build and 
maintain successful, high performance organizations, with a rewarding 
work environment, that help agencies to accomplish their missions and 
goals.

    To better meet these responsibilities, OPM is undertaking in FY 2003 
a major restructuring that will align its efforts to the goals in the 
Strategic Plan. This restructuring will eliminate stovepipes and 
significantly reduce the number of offices, resulting in a delayered 
agency better able to serve its customers. FY 2004 will be the first 
full year OPM will be operating in its new structure. Concurrently, with 
the adoption of the new goals of the Strategic Plan and restructuring, 
OPM will develop a more robust performance evaluation program in FY 2003 
to be deployed in FY 2004.

    The functions and objectives of the restructured OPM are:

    Human Resources Program Development (HRPD).--This new organization 
will develop policies and programs in an integrated manner. HRPD will: 
(1) Develop policies that support agencies efforts to develop and 
maintain the capacity of their workforce to continue to meet and improve 
their strategic performance targets; (2) Support the establishment of 
the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) by developing policies and 
regulations consistent with the DHS bill; (3) Provide the Federal 
Government with a modern compensation system that is performance-
oriented, market-sensitive, and assists Federal agencies in meeting 
their strategic goals; and (4) Increase the effectiveness and efficiency 
of the Federal hiring process and make Federal employment attractive to

[[Page 972]]

high-quality applicants of diverse backgrounds. This function also 
includes two of 24 Government-wide e-Government projects: the e-Payroll 
project, which reduces the number of payroll providers from 22 to 4 
resulting in planned savings of at least $1.2 billion over the next 10 
years, and the Enterprise Human Resources Integration project, which 
will develop and establish a repository for electronic employee records 
to enable electronic transfer of data between agencies.

    Program performance.--OPM will continue to survey the Senior 
Executive Service (SES), Human Resources Directors, Human Resources 
Specialists, and the general workforce to assess and address the impact 
of policies affecting recruitment, performance, retention, human 
resource development programs, and their satisfaction with them. The 
2001 HR Directors' Customer Satisfaction Survey showed that the 
percentage of Human Resources Directors who were satisfied with OPM's 
policy leadership were as follows; 91 percent in pay and leave 
administration, 80 percent in performance management, 82 percent in 
position classification and position management, and 74 percent in the 
Federal Wage System. OPM will deploy in FY 2004 a new evaluation 
strategy that will assess the value and impact of OPM programs. This 
strategy will measure effectiveness of OPM programs in how they help 
agencies strategically improve their human capital practices in support 
of their missions. Deployment will result in the establishment of 
baselines and improvement targets for FY 2004 accomplishments.

    Agency Merit Systems Accountability and Human Capital Programs.--OPM 
established this organization to create agency-focused teams to explore, 
promote and help agencies adopt the best human capital practices that 
generate results and meet agencies' unique needs. This organization 
will: (1) Ensure that agencies implement flexible and customized human 
capital practices that will attract and retain a diverse, high quality, 
well motivated workforce that is able to tackle the complex issues of 
today and tomorrow; (2) Provide advice to agencies and promote best 
practices on solutions, actions and strategies to meet both their 
immediate and long term human capital management needs; (3) Monitor and 
assess Federal agencies' effectiveness in implementing merit-based human 
capital strategies that support their missions; (4) Work with agencies 
and constituent groups to improve the Senior Executive Service hiring 
process and address other leadership issues; and (5) Provide advice and 
assistance in establishing the Department of Homeland Security and 
ensure that human capital needs for the homeland security community are 
met. In FY 2002 and FY 2003, OPM took a lead role in establishing the 
human resource systems of the Department. For the remainder of FY 2003 
and throughout FY 2004, OPM will lead in establishing the human capital 
practices that will help give the 170,000 employees the skills, tools 
and motivation to achieve the new Department's mission, goals and 
objectives.

    Program performance.--OPM will develop an index that will allow an 
assessment of merit systems and human capital practices across Federal 
agencies as well as how those human capital practices help agencies 
better fulfill their missions, thereby establishing a link between human 
capital strategies and the results Americans expect from the Federal 
Government. In addition, OPM will track Government-wide data and trends 
through centralized data sources such as the Central Personnel Data File 
(CPDF), the Government-wide Survey (GWS) and other appropriate metrics 
to assess human capital progress and help agencies improve. In support 
of the President's Management Agenda, the GWS provides a managerially 
useful indicator of the views of responding Federal employees, who work 
in 27 member agencies of the President's Management Council, about 
agency human capital management practices. The 2002 GWS provided 
baseline data that can be used to measure and help understand changes in 
survey results over time.

    HR Products and Services.--Under this new organization, OPM has 
consolidated functions and activities that: (1) Provide cost-effective, 
relevant and useful human capital products and services to agencies; (2) 
Make the transition from active employment to retirement seamless and 
expeditious, facilitating retirement income security for Federal 
employees; and (3) Give Federal employees, annuitants and their families 
choices of quality and fiscally responsible carriers for addressing 
their specific insurance needs.

    Products and services include security and suitability personnel 
investigations, support to the department of Justice for the Voting 
Rights program, automated employment information needed to recruit and 
hire the federal workforce, and administration of earned employee 
benefits--the retirement and insurance programs--for federal employees, 
retirees, and their families.

    Program performance.--OPM establishes annual performance goals and 
objectives designed to achieve long-term strategic goals. Customer 
service is measured through OPM's Customer Satisfaction Survey, surveys 
of attendees at conferences, workshops, and/or seminars, and feedback 
from users of the OPM website and email. Progress is monitored through 
program performance indicators and output measures.

    The Retirement Systems Modernization (RSM) project is OPM's central 
strategy for meeting its long term retirement program customer service, 
financial management, business process, and workforce performance goals. 
OPM is moving from a paper-based record keeping system to program-wide 
electronic data and transactions. The on-going project is being 
implemented in phases, reaching full capability in 2010.

    During FY 2003, RSM will begin a large-scale data effort to convert 
masses of hardcopy paper records for current employees to electronic 
data that will be available to program administrators via the Internet, 
and will automatically populate OPM's retirement benefits calculator and 
coverage determination tools. Additionally, OPM will begin providing 
web-enabled member self-service to facilitate electronic filing of 
benefits applications. Outcomes include faster, cheaper and more 
accurate claims processing, increased customer satisfaction and a 
significant decrease in the amount of space needed to house paper 
records, reducing storage costs.

    In FY 2004, OPM will begin receiving recurring employee data from 
agencies through the Enterprise Human Resource (HR) Integration project, 
an OPM-led e-Government initiative, which will minimize the HR data that 
agencies must send to OPM. Other planned work packages will improve 
retirement benefits counseling, make claims processing real-time for a 
significant number of retiring federal employees, and reduce the manual 
data entry required for claims processing.

    On average, OPM processes 170,000 Civil Service and Federal 
Employees' Retirement System (CSRS and FERS) annuity and survivor claims 
annually. Since FY 2000, the processing time for interim annuity 
payments has been reduced from five days to two days, and, in FY 2002, 
more than 56 percent of interim payments were authorized within one day. 
As OPM leveraged technology investments to increase its claims 
processing capacity and efficiency, FERS claims processing times dropped 
from 185 days in FY 2000 to 70 days in FY 2002, while customer 
satisfaction about the timeliness of the first annuity payment has 
remained at or near 80 percent since FY 1997.

    OPM's continuing focus is to develop a comprehensive and competitive 
benefits package for the Federal workforce that offers choices 
comparable to the private sector, and which

[[Page 973]]

supports our human capital efforts to recruit and retain an effective 
workforce. To mitigate the effects of rising health insurance premiums, 
OPM implemented premium conversion in FY 2001, which allows Federal 
employees to deduct their share of health insurance premiums from their 
taxable income, thereby reducing their taxes and making health coverage 
more affordable. In addition, OPM is implementing a Flexible Spending 
Account (FSA) program. These accounts allow employees to set aside a 
part of their salary by pre-tax withholdings and use the pretax dollars 
to pay for some medical, dental, vision and dependent-care expenses. 
FSAs are scheduled to be available to Federal employees beginning July 
1, 2003.

    The Administration will work with stakeholders to better coordinate 
the Medicare and Federal Employees Health Benefits programs and look to 
the practices of the private sector to ensure high quality, cost-
conscious choices for retirees. These important programs jointly finance 
health insurance for about 2.1 million Federal retirees and their 
dependents.

    Management Services.--Includes: OPM human resources, equal 
employment opportunity, security, facilities, telecommunications, 
publishing, acquisitions, information resources management, and 
financial management to support all of OPM's goals. As mentioned 
previously, this organization will include the new evaluation function 
that will facilitate the deployment of a new evaluation strategy in FY 
2004. It is being developed and piloted during FY 2003 to assess the use 
and impact of OPM programs and create an index that will allow an 
assessment of merit systems and human capital practices across Federal 
agencies. This organization will also coordinate strategic planning and 
program performance reporting across the agency.

    Executive Services.--Includes: executive direction, legal advice and 
representation, public affairs, legislative activities, and the 
operating expenses of the President's Commission on White House Fellows.

    Reimbursable Programs.--OPM provides administrative, information 
resources management, and executive services to other OPM accounts on a 
reimbursable basis. OPM also performs a small amount of reimbursable 
work under the Economy Act at the request of other agencies.

employee performance management systems. The Administration proposes 
providing additional pay over and above any annual, across-the-board pay 
raise to certain civilian employees based on individual or 
organizational performance and/or other critical agency human capital 
needs. Ninety percent of funds appropriated would be distributed to 
agencies on a pro rata basis, upon OPM approval of an agency's plan. The 
remainder, and any amount withheld from agencies due to inadequate 
plans, would be allocated at the discretion of OPM.

    The current GS system would remain unchanged; individual employees 
would remain at their existing GS levels and on schedule for all routine 
pay raises such as a within-grade increase. Any pay increase received 
from the Fund would be treated as increases to base pay for retirement 
and other purposes and would stay with an employee throughout his/her 
career.

    The Administration plans to transmit a detailed legislative proposal 
to Congress in the near future.

    This appropriation provides agency-wide audit, investigative, 
evaluation, inspection, and administrative sanction functions to 
identify management and administrative deficiencies that may create 
conditions for fraud, waste, and mismanagement. The audits function 
provides internal agency audit, insurance audit, contract audit, and 
information systems audit services. Contract audits provide professional 
advice to agency contracting officials on accounting and financial 
matters regarding the negotiation, award, administration, repricing, and 
settlement of contracts. Internal agency audits review and evaluate all 
facets of agency operations, including financial statements. Insurance 
audits review the operations of health and life insurance carriers, 
health care providers, and insurance subscribers. Information systems 
audits review both general controls and application controls for the 
agency's systems and programs. The investigative function provides for 
the detection and investigation of improper and illegal activities 
involving programs, personnel, and operations. Administrative sanctions 
debar from participation in the health insurance program those health 
care providers whose conduct may pose a threat to the financial 
integrity of the program itself or to the well-being of insurance 
program enrollees. These Inspector General activities resulted in 
positive financial impacts of approximately $116 million, 24 criminal 
convictions, and 3,827 administrative sanctions in 2002.

    Additional resources in 2004 will finance more audit staff, special 
agent criminal investigators, associated analytical staff, and improved 
information systems. OPM expects to reduce the audit cycle from 5 years 
to 3.6 years for community-related carriers. Recoveries are expected to 
increase by $16 million annually as a result.

    The budget includes a legislative proposal that corrects for an 
anticipated USPS overfunding of Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) 
retirement benefits. This anticipated overfunding is due to a number of 
factors, including higher than expected past pension investment yields 
and overly prescriptive and inflexible statutory language. While the 
legislative proposal would reduce USPS payments to the Retirement Fund, 
it ensures that USPS meets its pension obligations so that no employee 
or retiree would lose any benefits. The proposal is consistent with the 
structure and financing of the Federal Employees' Retirement System as 
well as the Administration's legislative proposal to fully fund the CSRS 
liabilities for non-USPS employees and retirees.

    OPM's Revolving Fund supports the President's Management Agenda by 
fully or partially funding three e-Government projects: e-Clearance; e-
Training; and Recruitment One-Stop. The Revolving Fund also provides 
financing on a reimbursable basis for several products and services to 
Federal agencies.

    Government Services.--OPM provides assistance to Government agencies 
in managing the development of training and human resources management 
solutions that meet their specific short-term and long-range objectives. 
This is accomplished through an expedited contracting process, which is 
managed by an experienced team of HR and contracting professionals. Much 
of the Training Management Assistance (TMA) workload supports 
development of training programs for anti-terrorism, emergency 
preparedness, and intelligence activities at the U.S. Customs Service, 
Department of Defense (DOD), U.S. Air Force, Federal Aviation 
Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the Immigration 
and Naturalization Service. About 250 programs are managed annually.

    OPM delivers employment information, testing and recruiting 
services, automated staffing, and related human resource management 
services to Federal agencies nationwide. Nationwide testing involves 
work planning, scheduling, and administration of written examinations 
upon request from agencies including the DOD and the Department of 
Homeland Security.

    Investigations.--Through a contract with a private company, OPM 
conducts National Agency Check and Inquiry cases and background security 
investigations for Federal agencies on a reimbursable basis. When OPM is 
required to pay a fee to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for 
name and fingerprint checks, agencies are required to reimburse OPM for 
such fees through the Revolving Fund.

    In FY 2002, a significant part of OPM's business came from the DOD, 
for which OPM helped reduce a backlog of reinvestigations for civilian 
and military personnel. When it was necessary, OPM sent teams of OPM 
employees and con

[[Page 977]]

tractor staff to assist with special hiring needs, for the 
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA). OPM provided these agencies with onsite assistance 
to complete investigative forms and used portable live-scan equipment to 
digitize and transmit fingerprints to the FBI for quicker applicant 
screening. OPM will continue to work closely with its contractor to 
provide useful, cost-effective products and services in support of 
Homeland Security.

    Training and Development.--OPM conducts residential and 
nonresidential programs for Federal executives and managers to improve 
the effectiveness and efficiency of Federal programs.

    This fund: (1) pays annuities to retired employees or their 
survivors; (2) makes refunds to separated employees for amounts withheld 
and to beneficiaries of employees who died before retirement or before 
annuities equaled the amount withheld; and (3) pays expenses of the 
Office of Personnel Management for administering the program.

    The fund covers two Federal civilian retirement systems: the Civil 
Service Retirement System (CSRS) and the Federal Employees' Retirement 
System (FERS).

    CSRS is basically a defined benefit plan, covering Federal employees 
hired prior to 1984. CSRS participants do not participate in the Social 
Security system. FERS is a three-tiered pension program that uses Social 
Security as a base, provides an additional basic benefit, and includes a 
thrift savings plan. FERS covers employees hired after 1983 and formerly 
CSRS-covered employees who elected to join FERS.

    The Administration will propose legislation to simplify the 
computation of annuities under the Civil Service Retirement System for 
individuals with part-time service. The change would eliminate an 
unintended adverse effect on employees who perform part-time service at 
the end of their careers, and provide agencies increased flexibility to 
recruit and retain personnel.

    In addition, the budget includes a legislative proposal, a portion 
of which scores PAYGO, that corrects for an anticipated USPS over-
funding of Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) retirement benefits. 
This anticipated over-funding is due to a number of factors, including 
higher than expected past pension investment yields and overly 
prescriptive and inflexible statutory language. While the legislative 
proposal would reduce USPS payments to the Retirement Fund, it ensures 
that USPS meets its pension obligations so that no employee or retiree 
would lose any benefits. The proposal is consistent with the structure 
and financing of the Federal Employees' Retirement System as well as the 
Administra

[[Page 979]]

tion's legislative proposal to fully fund the CSRS liabilities for non-
USPS employees and retirees.

    In determining a biweekly subscription rate to cover program costs, 
one percent is added for administrative expenses and three percent is 
added for a contingency reserve held by OPM for each carrier. OPM is 
authorized to transfer unused administrative reserve funds to the 
contingency reserve.

    The REHB fund is available without fiscal year limitation. The 
amounts contributed by the Government are paid into the fund from annual 
appropriations. The number of participants at the end of each fiscal 
year are as follows:

                                    ====================================

    Financing.--The funds are financed by: (1) withholdings from active 
employees and annuitants; (2) agency contributions for active employees; 
(3) Government contributions for annuitants appropriated to OPM; and (4) 
contributions made by the United States Postal Service in accordance 
with the provisions of Public Law 101-508 and Public Law 103-66.

    Operating results.--Funds made available to carriers but not used to 
pay claims in the current period are carried forward as special reserves 
for use in subsequent periods.

    OPM maintains a contingency reserve, funded by employee and 
Government contributions, that may be used to defray future cost 
increases or provide increased benefits. OPM

makes payments to carriers from this reserve whenever carrier-held 
reserves fall below levels prescribed by OPM regulations or when 
carriers can demonstrate good cause such as unexpected claims experience 
or variations from expected community rates.
