RIN 3206-AP06
Performance Appraisal for General Schedule, Prevailing Rate, and
Certain Other Employees; Correction
AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is correcting a
proposed rule that published in the February 24, 2026, issue of the
Federal Register. The proposed rule contained missing FR citation
information, and this corrects that error.
DATES: This correction is effective on March 26, 2026.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Noah Peters, Senior Advisor to the
Director, by email at [email protected] or by phone at
(202) 606-2930.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the proposed rule ``Performance Appraisal
for General Schedule, Prevailing Rate, and Certain Other Employees''
(Document Number 2026-03619), published at 91 FR 8780 on February 24,
2026, within the ``Conforming Amendments'' paragraph on page 8787, in
the third column, the FR citation ``90 FR xxxxx (MM, DD, YYYY)'' is
corrected to read ``91 FR 10904 (March 5, 2026)''.
This correction of the proposed rule provides readers with complete
information that was missing from the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION of the
proposed rule. Therefore, OPM has determined, pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B), that prior notice and opportunity for public comment is
unnecessary. Public comment could not inform this process in any
meaningful way. We have further determined that, under 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3), the agency has good cause to make this correction effective
upon publication.
Regulatory Review
OPM has examined the impact of this rule as required by Executive
Orders 12866 and 13563, which direct agencies to assess all costs and
benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic, environmental, public, health, and
safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). A regulatory impact
analysis must be prepared for rules that have an annual effect on the
economy of $100 million or more or adversely affect in a material way
the economy, a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs,
the environment, public health or safety, or State, local, or tribal
governments or communities. This final rule is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563. Therefore, this rule is not
subject to Executive Order 14192.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Director of the Office of Personnel Management certifies that
this regulation will not have a significant impact on a substantial
number of small entities because it applies only to Federal agencies
and employees.
Federalism
This rule will not have substantial direct effects on the States,
on the relationship between the National Government and the States, or
on distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels
of government. Therefore, in accordance with Executive Order 13132, it
is determined that this rule does not have sufficient federalism
implications to warrant preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets the applicable standard set forth in section 3(a)
and (b)(2) of Executive Order 12988.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA)
requires that agencies assess anticipated costs and benefits before
issuing any rule that would impose spending costs on State, local, or
tribal governments in the aggregate, or on the private sector, in any 1
year of $100 million in 1995 dollars, updated annually for inflation.
That threshold is currently approximately $206 million. This rulemaking
will not result in the expenditure by State, local, or tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, in excess of
the threshold. Thus, no written assessment of unfunded mandates is
required.
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521)
The Paperwork Reduction Act, Public Law 96-511, does not apply to
this rule.

The Director of OPM, Scott Kupor, reviewed and approved this
document and has authorized the undersigned to electronically sign and
submit this document to the Office of the Federal Register for
publication.
