Comments concerning - Federal Register: February 14, 2005 (Volume 70, Number 29) Proposed Rules: FR Document 05-2582/NSPS (National Security Personnel System) Page 7568: "... the intent is to explicitly restrict the authority of MSPB...." No kidding. "Nothing in these regulations would limit the Secretary's sole and exclusive authority ...." If there are no limits, no oversight, no review, then absolute power will corrupt. "Judicial Review" All power will now reside by management fiat. "In authorizing the creation of the NSPS, Congress recognized that maintaining the status quo with respect to labor- management relations would not provide DoD with a workforce that is sufficiently agile and flexible to execute the current and future national security mission. " Management currently has the tools and power that SECDEF asserts is needed under NSPS. Just because management will not use these tools, do not fault anyone but them.
