    SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing final 
    regulations to revise the format of certain regulatory provisions in 
    title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, relating to Federal employees' 
    compensation so that all definitions of terms are listed in 
    alphabetical order, consistent with the format preferred by the Office 
    of the Federal Register.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: December 29, 1995.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Most of OPM's compensation regulations list 
    definitional terms in alphabetical order without any letter or number 
    designation, consistent with the format preferred by the Office of the 
    Federal Register. However, in several sections of the regulations, 
    letter or number designations continue to be used, and the definitions 
    are not necessarily listed in alphabetical order. This format can make 
    it difficult for the reader to readily locate a particular definition. 
    OPM is revising these definitions so that all such listings are 
    organized in alphabetical order without letter or number designations. 
    With this change, all sections listing compensation definitions will 
    have a consistent format, and it will be easier for users of the 
    regulations to locate information. The regulations also include 
    revisions in certain cross references made necessary because of the 
    deletion of the former paragraph designations.

        Because the changes do not involve rulemaking, the changes are 
    final and become effective immediately.

        I certify that these regulations will not have a significant 
    economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because they 
    apply only to Federal agencies and employees.
