AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: Correction to final regulations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a

DATES: These regulations are effective May 7, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 7, 1999, OPM published final regulations (64 FR 16797)
that cover the crediting of civilian and uniformed service for purposes
of reduction in force competition under part 351 of this title. These
regulations are effective on May 7, 1999.
The final regulations contained a typographical error that resulted
in the inadvertent omission of a cross-reference to Sec. 351.504(e) in
final Sec. 351.503(c)(3), and in final Sec. 351.503(e). These
corrections do not make a substantive change in the procedures that
agencies use in determining employees' retention standing.
Reason for Correction
1. Final Sec. 351.503(c)(1) provides that the agency is responsible
for determining an employee's retention service computation date. Final
Sec. 351.503(c)(2) provides that an employee's retention service
computation date includes all actual creditable civilian and uniformed
service, as authorized under final Secs. 351.503 (a) and (b). Final
Sec. 351.503(c)(3) provides that an employee's adjusted retention
service computation date includes both the employee's actual service
creditable service, and additional retention service credit for
performance. As published, final Sec. 351.503(c)(3) contains a
reference to Sec. 351.504(d), which covers the amount of additional
retention service credit awarded to competing employees covered by a
single rating pattern. However, final Sec. 351.503(c)(3) inadvertently
omitted a reference to Sec. 351.504(e), which covers additional
retention reference credit awarded to competing employees covered by
multiple rating patterns. This document corrects that omission.
2. Final Sec. 351.503(e) covers how the agency calculates the
adjusted retention service date. As published, final Sec. 351.503(e)
contains a reference to Sec. 351.504(d), which covers the amount of
additional retention service credit awarded to competing employees
covered by a single rating pattern, but inadvertently omits a reference
to Sec. 351.504(e), which covers additional retention reference credit
awarded to competing employees covered by multiple rating patterns.
This document corrects that omission.
Correction
In rule document 99-8587 beginning on page 16797 in the issue of
Wednesday, April 7, 1999, make the following corrections:
On page 16800, in the third column, correct Sec. 351.503(c)(3) and
Sec. 351.503(e) to read as follows:
Sec. 351.503 Length of service.
* * * * *
(c) * * *
(3) The adjusted service computation date includes all actual
creditable service under paragraph (a) and paragraph (b) of this
section, and additional retention service credit for performance
authorized by Secs. 351.504 (d) and (e).
* * * * *
(e) The adjusted service computation date is calculated by
subtracting from the date in paragraph (d)(1) or (d)(2) of this section
the additional service credit for retention authorized by Secs. 351.504
(d) and (e).
