OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

5 CFR Part 990

RIN 3206-AJ97


General and Miscellaneous

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management proposes to remove its 
regulation concerning the submission of claims by preference eligibles 
to OPM and the recognition of representatives by OPM. The regulation is 
now obsolete.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 28, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Send, deliver or fax comments to Ellen E. Tunstall, Deputy 
Associate Director for Talent and Capacity Policy, U.S. Office of 
Personnel Management, Room 6551, 1900 E Street, NW., Washington, DC 
20415-9700; e-mail [email protected]; FAX: (202) 606-2329.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Raleigh M. Neville by telephone at 
(202) 606-0960; by TDD at (202) 418-3134; by fax at (202) 606-0390; or 
by e-mail at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of this revision to part 990 is 
to eliminate the part because it is obsolete. OPM no longer adjudicates 
claims or appeals under sections 3502, 3503, or 7701 of title 5, United 
States Code. That appellate function was vested in the Merit Systems 
Protection Board, created by the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978. 
Accordingly, there is no basis to retain the provisions of part 990 in 
the Code of Federal Regulations.

E.O. 12866, Regulatory Review

    This rule has been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget 
in accordance with E.O. 12866.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    I certify that these regulations would not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because it 
affects only Federal employees.

List of Subjects in 5 CFR Part 990

    Administrative practice and procedure, Claims, Government 
employees, Veterans.

U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
Kay Coles James,
Director.

    Under the authority of 5 CFR chapter 1, OPM proposes to remove and 
reserve 5 CFR part 990 as follows:

PART 990--[Removed and Reserved]

    1. Part 990 is removed and reserved.
