Format Changes in Compensation Regulations

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing final 
regulations to revise the format of certain regulatory provisions in 
title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, relating to Federal employees' 
compensation so that all definitions of terms are listed in 
alphabetical order, consistent with the format preferred by the Office 
of the Federal Register.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 29, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mary Ann Ashford, (202) 606-2858 or FAX: (202) 606-0824.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Most of OPM's compensation regulations list 
definitional terms in alphabetical order without any letter or number 
designation, consistent with the format preferred by the Office of the 
Federal Register. However, in several sections of the regulations, 
letter or number designations continue to be used, and the definitions 
are not necessarily listed in alphabetical order. This format can make 
it difficult for the reader to readily locate a particular definition. 
OPM is revising these definitions so that all such listings are 
organized in alphabetical order without letter or number designations. 
With this change, all sections listing compensation definitions will 
have a consistent format, and it will be easier for users of the 
regulations to locate information. The regulations also include 
revisions in certain cross references made necessary because of the 
deletion of the former paragraph designations.

    Because the changes do not involve rulemaking, the changes are 
final and become effective immediately.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    I certify that these regulations will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because they 
apply only to Federal agencies and employees.
