The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing proposed regulations governing the coverage of, and attorney fee awards under, the Back Pay Act. The proposed regulations would add a definition of "employee's personal representative" for purposes of the payment of attorney fees and, clarify the actions qualifying for back pay, add a definition of "personnel action" and revise the definition of "unjustified or unwarranted personnel action".
