                Memorandum of December 21, 2012

                
Federal Employee Pay Schedules and Rates That Are 
                Set by Administrative Discretion

                Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and 
                Agencies

                On December 22, 2010, I issued a memorandum stating 
                that the heads of executive departments and agencies 
                should suspend any increases to any pay systems or pay 
                schedules covering executive branch employees, and 
                should forgo any general increases in covered 
                employees' rates of pay, that could otherwise take 
                effect as a result of the exercise of administrative 
                discretion during the period beginning on January 1, 
                2011, and ending on December 31, 2012. In light of 
                section 114 of the Continuing Appropriations 
                Resolution, 2013 (Public Law 112-175), I am hereby 
                instructing the heads of executive departments and 
                agencies that they should continue to adhere to this 
                policy through March 27, 2013, the date after which 
                statutory pay adjustments may be made pursuant to 
                section 114 of Public Law 112-175.

                This memorandum shall be carried out to the extent 
                permitted by law and consistent with executive 
                departments' and agencies' legal authorities. This 
                memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any 
                right or benefit, substantive or procedural, 
                enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
                the United States, its departments, agencies, or 
                entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any 
                other person.

                The Director of the Office of Personnel Management 
                shall issue any necessary guidance on implementing this 
                memorandum, and is also hereby authorized and directed 
                to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, December 21, 2012
