SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 26, 2019, the Office of Management 
and Budget published OMB memorandum 19-16, Centralized Mission Support 
Capabilities for the Federal Government (available at https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/M-19-16.pdf). Mission 
support business standards, established and agreed to by agencies, 
using the Federal Integrated Business Framework (FIBF) website at 
https://ussm.gsa.gov/fibf/, enable the Federal Government to better 
coordinate on the decision-making needed to determine what can be 
adopted and commonly shared. These business standards are an essential 
first step towards agreement on outcomes, data, and cross-functional 
end to end processes that will drive economies of scale and leverage 
the government's buying power. The business standards will be used as 
the foundation for common mission support services shared by Federal 
agencies.
    OPM serves as the Human Capital Management (HCM) business standards 
lead on the Business Standards Council (BSC). The goal of the HCM 
business standards is to standardize Human Capital Management across 
the Federal government. The HCM business capabilities, service metrics, 
and standard data elements document the key activities, inputs, 
outputs, data elements, and other functional area intersections.
    OPM is seeking public feedback on these draft business standards, 
including comments on understandability of the standards, suggested 
changes, and usefulness of the draft standards to industry and 
agencies.
    Guiding questions in standard development include:
     Do the draft business standards appropriately document the 
business processes covered?
     Are the draft business standards easy to understand?
     Will your organization be able to show how your solutions 
and/or services can meet these draft business standards?
     What would you change about the draft business standards? 
Is there anything missing?
    Comments will be used in formulation of the final business 
standards.

U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

Federal Register Liaison.
