Critical Position Pay Authority

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is amending its regulations governing the critical position pay (CPP) authority to establish level I of the Executive Schedule as the default maximum critical pay rate, with higher rates subject to written approval by the Director of OPM. The final rule eliminates non-statutory caps and approval criteria; addresses the use of service agreements; clarifies that reductions or terminations of CPP are not adverse actions or subject to grievance or appeal rights; and clarifies the treatment of critical pay rates as basic pay. This final rule simplifies and better aligns OPM's regulations with governing law and delegated authority.

Privacy Act of 1974; New Matching Program

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance on computer matching, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is providing notice of the establishment of a new matching program. Pursuant to the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 (PIIA), OPM is establishing a matching program with the Department of the Treasury's Do Not Pay (DNP) Working System, which is administered by the Bureau of the Fiscal Service. The matching program will enable OPM Retirement Services to compare records maintained in OPM systems of records with records maintained in the DNP Working System for the purposes of identifying and preventing improper payments and conducting related recovery activities by verifying pre-payment eligibility through Do Not Pay. OPM has determined that this matching program satisfies the eligibility requirements for the waiver of the computer matching agreement requirement under OMB Memorandum M-25-32.
