    It is OPM's mission to have a highly qualified and diverse Federal 
workforce, one based on merit system principles that America needs to 
guarantee freedom, promote prosperity, and ensure the security of this 
great Nation. The 2006 Budget will allow OPM to help deliver on 
President Bush's promise to improve the Federal Government and provide 
the highest possible quality of service to the American taxpayers.

    The 2006 Budget will allow OPM to implement long-term human capital 
strategies that deliver results for the American people. Through its 
leadership in the Government-wide effort to transform Human Capital 
Management, OPM is creating an environment in which agencies are held 
accountable for managing their workforce. OPM is committed to 
implementing policies that will decrease the hiring time of new Federal 
employees, and change how their job performance is evaluated and how 
they are paid. Many of these policies will be driven by the lessons 
learned in setting up the new human resources management system of the 
Department of Homeland Security and of other agencies with contemporary 
and efficient personnel systems.

[[Page 1088]]

    The functions and objectives of the OPM Divisions are:

    1. Strategic human resources policy (SHRP)--strives to: 1) Ensure 
agencies use OPM policy and guidance to improve their Human Capital 
Management; 2) Implement new Human Resource systems; 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) Streamline the Federal hiring 
process and make Federal employment attractive to high-quality 
applicants of diverse backgrounds.

    In 2006, OPM will continue to work with the Department of Defense to 
complete the implementation of their new human resource system. Also, 
OPM will continue to be an active partner in maximizing human resource 
flexibilities and pay-for-performance within a Government-wide 
framework.

    In an effort to promote the Government's ability to attract and 
retain qualified employees, OPM will modernize the Administrative 
Careers with America Program, and continue to develop and implement the 
Senior Presidential Management Fellows and Federal Candidate Development 
programs.

    OPM will assess the results of its strategic human resources policy 
activities by again administering the Federal Human Capital Survey and 
Federal Benefits Survey in 2006. OPM will also continue to track and 
report on the extent to which agencies use innovations such as hiring 
flexibilities, telework, and student loan repayments. The result of 
these is to provide broad, Government-wide indicators on the status of 
Federal human capital that will benefit lawmakers, managers, and 
employees, and enable OPM to develop the appropriate human resource 
policies. In addition, OPM will continue to lead the design, development 
and implementation of human resource policies and strategies that will 
aid Federal agencies in adopting human resource management systems that 
improve their ability to build successful high performance 
organizations.

    Program performance.--During FY 2004, OPM developed policies to 
support agencies' leadership succession planning efforts, specifically 
for a Government-wide SES Federal Candidate Development Program and the 
Presidential Management Fellows Program. The agency also issued interim 
regulations to establish pay-for-performance for the SES Program and 
specify the criteria that performance management systems covering senior 
executives or senior professionals must meet. In addition, OPM worked 
jointly with the Department of Homeland Security to issue proposed 
regulations to establish a new human resource management system within 
DHS. Similar to its work with DHS, OPM began partnering with DOD to 
implement provisions of the National Defense Authorizations Act of 2004, 
as high level staff from both agencies began working with unions 
representing the various DOD employee groups and other stakeholders in 
the developmental stage of the new personnel system. Finally, OPM 
developed a policy structure to offer High-Deductible Health Plans with 
Health Savings Accounts under the Federal Employees Health Benefit 
Program.

    2. Human capital leadership and merit system accountability 
(HCLMSA)--leads the transformation of Human Capital Management by 
providing technical support to Federal agencies so they can better 
accomplish their missions through effective human capital programs and 
practices.

    In 2006, OPM will continue to engage Federal agencies in 
implementing Human Capital Standards for Success with the overarching 
purpose of ensuring that agencies transform their human capital 
management practices. OPM's success will be measured by the number of 
agencies that meet the Human Capital Standards for Success that were 
jointly developed with the Office of Management and Budget and the 
Government Accountability Office. OPM will react to the results of the 
retirement readiness study that will be completed in 2005 to ensure that 
Federal employees are at the appropriate stage of retirement planning at 
various milestones of their careers. In addition, OPM will continue its 
auditing, reviewing, and oversight functions to ensure that agencies 
comply with the merit system principles, veterans' preference, 
whistleblower protection and other rights and privileges.

    Program performance.--In 2004, eight of the twenty-six agencies 
reporting under the President's Management Agenda Scorecard met the 
Human Capital Standards for Success, up from zero in 2003. An additional 
fifteen agencies have made significant progress toward achieving these 
standards. This means that agencies employing over 1.3 million employees 
are making significant progress toward meeting these standards. We 
expect continued improvement in 2005 and 2006.

    3. Human resources products and services (HRPS)--will: 1) Provide 
direct human capital products and services that are cost-effective, 
relevant and useful to agencies; 2) Facilitate retirement income 
security for Federal employees by making the transition from active 
employment to retirement seamless and expeditious; 3) Allow Federal 
employees, annuitants and their families to choose from among quality 
and fiscally responsible carriers to address their specific insurance 
needs.

    OPM continues to investigate options for modernizing its retirement 
systems, such as licensing technology. In 2006, OPM will continue the 
project to convert the millions of paper retirement records stored in 
Boyers, PA to electronic data and will continue to expand the claims 
processing capabilities of the Federal Annuity Claims Expert System. OPM 
will also introduce new dental and vision benefits for employees and 
annuitants on an enrollee-pay-all basis. Through the Federal Employees 
Health Benefits Program, OPM will continue to negotiate and contract 
with private insurance companies that offer a broad range of health 
insurance benefits, including High Deductible Health Plans and Consumer 
Driven Health Plan options.

    Program performance.--In 2004, OPM met its target for the percentage 
of post-retirement changes handled by self-servicing options, increased 
the number of Retirement Program telephone calls handled and increased 
the call handling rate, even as call volume increased 13 percent. OPM 
also exceeded the target for processing times for CSRS survivor claims 
by one day, the third straight year of improvement for this indicator. 
OPM continues to work to improve processing times for other annuity 
claims. To position the agency to improve processing times in FY 2005 
and FY 2006, OPM has begun initiatives to reduce the number of aged 
claims and a group of newly hired staff have been trained and are 
actively processing claims.

    In 2005, the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) is 
offering 44 more health plan options than in 2004. Customers can make 
informed health insurance decisions by several means: OPM-sponsored 
health plan brochures and website postings; health plan customer 
satisfaction survey results; web-based comparison/decision tools; and 
the Health Plan Employer and Data Information Set (HEDIS). OPM's effort 
to increase the quality of health plan services proved successful in 
2004 as current enrollment statistics show that 98 percent of FEHBP 
customers were enrolled in plans rated as ``accredited'' regarding their 
methods and success in achieving the best possible results for plan 
members. For 2005, health benefit premium rates are rising by an 
estimated average of 7.9 percent. In 2005 and 2006, OPM will continue 
tough negotiations with health carriers to contain premium hikes and 
maintain benefit levels. OPM will continue to improve and expand tools 
so customers can make informed health insurance decisions.

[[Page 1089]]

    The Administration will work with stakeholders to better coordinate 
the Medicare and Federal Employees Health Benefits programs and look to 
the practice of the private sector to ensure high quality, cost-
conscious choices for retirees. These important programs jointly finance 
health insurance for about 2 million Federal retirees and their 
dependents.

    4. Management services--Includes: OPM human resources, equal 
employment opportunity, security, facilities, telecommunications, 
publishing, acquisitions, information technology management, risk 
management, strategic planning and financial management to support all 
of OPM's goals. In 2006, OPM will continue to support agency-wide 
performance reporting and independent evaluation of policies and 
programs.

    5. 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.

    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, abuse, 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 $95 million, 25 criminal convictions, and 3,797 
administrative sanctions in 2004.

    In 2005, OPM added audits of pharmacy benefit managers and expanded 
the scope of audits for the largest community-rated health plans 
(comprehensive medical plans commonly referred to as health maintenance 
organizations) participating in FEHBP. In 2006, additional criminal 
investigation field locations will be established so that resources can 
be located where personnel benefits are received.

    The Budget proposes to use the pension savings provided to the 
Postal Service by the Postal Civil Service Retirement System Funding 
Reform Act of 2003 (P.L. 108-18) that would otherwise be held in escrow 
in 2006 and beyond, to put the Postal Service on a path that fully funds 
its substantial retiree (annuitant) health benefits liabilities.

    This new account would receive from the Postal Service: 1) payments 
for the accruing actuarial costs of Postal Service contributions for 
post-retirement health benefits for its current employees; and 2) 
amortization payments necessary to provide for the liquidation of the 
Postal Service's unfunded liability as of September 31, 2005, for post-
retirement health benefits (including both principle and interest). For 
the first 10 years, the amount of the payment made by the Postal Service 
would be capped at the size of the pension savings that would otherwise 
be held in escrow plus the amount the Postal Service is currently paying 
for its annuitant health benefit premiums. After 10 years, the Office of 
Personnel Management would re-calculate the unfunded liability and 
establish a new amortization schedule that would liquidate any remaining 
unfunded liability over a period of 30 years.

     As a result of this new health benefits financing system, the 
Postal Service would cease to pay annual premium costs

[[Page 1092]]

for its post-1971 current annuitants directly to the Employees and 
Retired Employees Health Benefits Fund. Instead, these premium payments 
would be paid from amounts that the Postal Service remits to this new 
fund. Payments for a proportion of the premium costs of Postal Service 
annuitants' pre-1971 service would continue to be paid by the General 
Fund of the Treasury through the Government Payment for Annuitants, 
Employees Health Benefits account.

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

    Talent 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 a network of expert OPM consultants, 
assessment and recruitment tools and systems, and an expedited 
contracting process, which is managed by an experienced team of HR and 
contracting professionals.

    OPM's assistance crosses all departments and most agencies however, 
much of the Training and Management Assistance, testing and assessment 
work has been provided specifically to various components of the 
Departments of Homeland Security and Defense, and the Federal Aviation 
Administration.

    Investigations.--Through contracts with private companies, OPM 
conducts National Agency Check and Inquiry cases and background 
security/suitability investigations for Federal agencies on a 
reimbursable basis through the Revolving Fund. When OPM is required to 
pay fees for national, State, or other records provided, agencies are 
also required to reimburse OPM for such fees through the Revolving Fund.

    In early 2005, OPM will accept a transfer of Personnel Security 
Investigation functions and personnel from the Department of Defense, 
Defense Security Service (DSS). The transfer to OPM's Center for 
Investigative Services will bring together a division that will conduct 
the vast majority of background investigations for the entire Federal 
government. The transfer is intended to reduce the current government-
wide backlog in background investigations and decrease the time required 
for these investigations.

    Leadership capacity services.--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 Budget proposes that the United States Patent and Trademark 
Office (PTO) will fund the full cost for retirement benefits for PTO's 
employees covered under the Civil Service Retirement System.

    This display combines the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) 
fund and the Retired Employees Health Benefits (REHB) fund.

    The FEHB fund provides for the cost of health benefits for: 1) 
active employees; 2) employees who retired after June 1960, or their 
survivors; 3) those annuitants transferred from the REHB program as 
authorized by Public Law 93-246; and 4) the related expenses of the 
Office of Personnel Management (OPM) in administering the program.

    The REHB fund, created by the Retired Federal Employees Health 
Benefits Act of 1960, provides for: 1) the cost of health benefits for 
retired employees and survivors who enroll in a Government-sponsored 
uniform health benefits plan; 2) the contribution to retired employees 
and survivors who retain or purchase private health insurance; and 3) 
expenses of OPM in administering the program.

    Budget program.--The balance of the FEHB fund is available for 
payments without fiscal year limitation. Numbers of participants at the 
end of each fiscal year are as follows:

                                     2004 actual  2005 est.   2006 est.
Active employees....................   2,202,543   2,202,000   2,202,000
Annuitants..........................   1,832,636   1,860,000   1,884,000
                                    ------------------------------------
    Total...........................   4,035,179   4,062,000   4,086,000
                                    ====================================

    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:

                                     2004 actual  2005 est.   2006 est.
Uniform plan........................         509         407         326
Private plans.......................       1,374       1,099         879
                                    ------------------------------------
    Total...........................       1,883       1,506       1,205
                                    ====================================

    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.

    The Budget proposes that the United States Patent and Trademark 
Office (PTO) will fund the accruing costs associated with post-
retirement health benefits for PTO's employees.
