OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

5 CFR Part 731

RIN 3206-AG36


Suitability, Personnel Security and Related Programs, 
Investigations, and Suitability Disqualification Actions

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is adopting as final 
an interim rule that revoked the section of its interim regulations 
that established the OPM Review Panel (5 CFR Part 731, subpart E), and 
issued a new subpart E that spells out procedures for appealing adverse 
suitability determinations to the Merit Systems Protection Board.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 17, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
John J. Lafferty, Deputy Associate Director for Investigations, (202) 
376-3800.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 16, 1994, OPM published an 
interim rule announcing its decision to revoke the section of its 
interim regulations establishing the OPM Review Panel, thereby 
abolishing the Review Panel, and promulgating new regulations that 
provide individuals the opportunity to appeal adverse suitability 
determinations to the Merit Systems Protection Board (59 FR 47527, 
September 16, 1994). OPM received no comments in response to this 
notice.

EO 12866, Regulatory Review

    This rule has been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget 
in accordance with EO 12866.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    I certify that these regulations will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because they 
relate to internal personnel matters within the Federal Government.

List of Subjects in 5 CFR Part 731

    Administrative practice and procedure, Government employees.

    Accordingly, under authority of 5 U.S.C. 3301, the interim rule 
amending 5 CFR Part 731 published on September 16, 1994 (59 FR 47527), 
is adopted as final without any changes.

Office of Personnel Management.
James B. King,
