Comments concerning - Federal Register: February 14, 2005 (Volume 70, Number 29) Proposed Rules: FR Document 05-2582/NSPS (National Security Personnel System) Page 7592: "Sec. 9901.716 Decision notice" Since there is no definative requirement to notify ("... to the extent practicable...") then this section is meaningless. Has DoD ever heard of Registered or Overnight Mail? "Sec. 9901.717 Departmental record" There is no time limit for DoD to comply with this section and is therefore meaningless. "Sec. 9901.802 Applicable legal standards and precedents" Since when can one Department force another to comply with its fiat. Additionally, since DoD decides if or when a decision can be a precedent, then there is standard to apply. "Sec. 9901.803 Waivers" See above. There are no protections from DoD whim or fancy. "Sec. 9901.805 Coverage" If there are no local Collective Bargaining Agreements or precedents, then DoD can and will do as it wishes.
