Abstract: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing interim 
regulations to implement certain Governmentwide human resources 
flexibilities contained in the Homeland Security Act of 2002. This 
regulation provides agencies with increased flexibility in assessing 
applicants using alternative ranking and selection procedures; the 
ability to select qualified candidates for jobs in the competitive 
service using direct-hire procedures including selection for temporary 
and term positions; the authority to pay or reimburse the costs of 
academic degree training from appropriated or other available funds 
under specified conditions; and increased flexibility in the use of 
academic degree training to address agency-specific human capital 
needs, goals, and challenges. This interim regulation will also remove 
part 333 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, Recruitment and 
Selection for Temporary and Term Appointments Outside the Register.
