The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing proposed regulations to implement recent statutory changes allowing certain employees and former employees of a land management agency to compete for a permanent position at such agency when the agency is accepting applications from individuals within the agency's workforce under promotion and internal placement (i.e., merit promotion) procedures, or at any hiring agency when the agency is accepting applications from individuals outside its own workforce under merit promotion procedures. These changes arose from enactment of the Land Management Workforce Flexibility Act ("the Act"), as amended by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017, and are codified at section 9602 of title 5. The intended effect of this rule is to facilitate the entrance of current and former land management employees into permanent Federal jobs.
