                Memorandum of April 5, 2013

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

                Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and 
                Agencies

                Section 1112 of the Consolidated and Further Continuing 
                Appropriations Act, 2013 (Public Law 113-6), reflects 
                the Congress's decision to continue to deny statutory 
                adjustments to any pay systems or pay schedules 
                covering executive branch employees. In light of the 
                Congress's action, I am instructing heads of executive 
                departments and agencies to continue through December 
                31, 2013, to adhere to the policy set forth in my 
                memoranda of December 22, 2010, and December 21, 2012, 
                regarding general increases in pay schedules and 
                employees' rates of pay that might otherwise take 
                effect as a result of the exercise of administrative 
                discretion.

                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, April 5, 2013
