to publish a semiannual agenda under Executive Order 12866 ``Regulatory 
Planning and Review'' and the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 
chapter 6). This publication in the Federal Register does not impose a 
binding obligation on the Office of Personnel Management with regard to 
any specific item on the agenda. Regulatory action in addition to the 
items listed is not precluded.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stephen D. Hickman, (202) 606-1973.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Beginning with the fall 2007 edition, the 
Internet will be the basic means for disseminating the Unified Agenda. 
The complete Unified Agenda will be available online at 
www.reginfo.gov, in a format that offers users a greatly enhanced 
ability to obtain information from the Agenda database. In addition, 
for fall editions of the Agenda, the entire Regulatory Plan will 
continue to be printed in the Federal Register, as in past years, 
including OPM's regulatory plan.

     For this edition of the Office of Personnel Management's 
regulatory agenda, the most important significant regulatory 
actions and a Statement of Regulatory Priorities are included in 
The Regulatory Plan, which appears in both the online Unified 
Agenda and in part II of the Federal Register that includes the 
Unified Agenda.

447. VETERANS' PREFERENCE (SECTION 610 REVIEW)

Legal Authority: 5 USC 1302

Abstract: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing interim 
regulations to implement a change to the definition of ``active duty'' 
contained in section 211.102(f) of title 5, Code of Federal 
Regulations. We are making this change in response to a Merit System 
Protection Board (MSPB) decision that affects eligibility for veterans' 
preference based on a service-connected disability. This action will 
conform OPM's regulations with MSPB's decision.
