OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

5 CFR Part 990

RIN 3206-AJ97


General and Miscellaneous

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing final 
regulations to remove its regulation concerning the submission of 
claims by preference eligibles to OPM and the recognition of 
representatives by OPM. 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eliminate the part because it is obsolete.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.

DATES: Effective Date: August 13, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Hakeem Basheerud-Deen at (202) 606-
1434, Fax: (202) 606-2329, TTY: (202) 418-3134, or e-mail: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 27, 2003, OPM issued proposed 
regulations at Federal Register 68 FR 28806 to remove and reserve part 
990 from the Code of Federal Regulations. No comments were received and 
the proposed rule is adopted as a final rule without change.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    I certify that this regulation will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities because it affects 
only certain Federal employees.

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Review

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