2011-23336. Science and Technology Reinvention Laboratory Demonstration Project; Department of the Army; Army Research, Development and Engineering Command; Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC); Correction

AGENCY:

Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Civilian Personnel Policy) (DASD (CPP)), Department of Defense (DoD).

ACTION:

Notice; correction.

SUMMARY:

On March 7, 2011 (76 FR 12508-12548), DoD published notice of approval of a personnel management demonstration project for eligible TARDEC employees. Within that notice the table showing the compensation regions defined by Normal Pay Ranges was misprinted. The Reduction-in-Force service credit was described erroneously, and several occupational series were omitted from the Occupational Families listed. This notice corrects these errors.

DATES:

Implementation of this demonstration project will begin no earlier than March 9, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

TARDEC: Mr. Gregory Berry, U. S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC), 6501 East 11 Mile Road, Attn: RDTA-COS/MS 204, Warren, MI 48397-5000.

c. 12 years of credit for each year the OCS is less than 94% but greater than 90% of the expected OCS.

d. Zero (0) year of credit for each year the OCS is less than 90% of the expected OCS.

Note 1:

Expected OCS is the OCS that corresponds to the employee's base pay at the time of rating.

3. On page 12529, Section H. Reduction-in-Force (RIF) Procedures, fifth paragraph, second to last sentence is changed to read: If an employee has not been rated under the demonstration project their rating will be considered acceptable and they will be given the full 20 years of performance credit.
