OL-10500091 Status Approved for Web Posting Classification 2-Addresses Issues Submitted Type CW Web Form Commenter Type Consumer Organization Received Date 02/15/2005 08:41:16 AM Document Date 02/15/2005 08:41:16 AM Remarks Pages 0 Category Web Form - Undetermined Comment Period Start 2/14/2005 Comment Period End 3/16/2005 Phase Proposed Rule Comment Instructions Summary: The Department of Defense (DoD) and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) are issuing proposed regulations to establish the National Security Personnel System (NSPS), a human resources management system for DoD, as authorized by the National Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 108-136,November 24, 2003). NSPS will set new rules for basic pay, classification, performance management, staffing, labor relations, adverse actions, and employee appeals. NSPS aligns DoD’s human resources management system with the Department's critical mission requirements and protects the civil service rights of its employees. Public Participation: DoD and OPM invite interested persons to participate in this rulemaking by submitting written comments, data, or views. Commenters should refer to a specific portion of the proposal (that is, the subpart and section number or the heading and page number), explain the reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data or information. Additional Information: The official website (http://www.cpms.osd.mil/nsps) will contain any public comments received, without change, as DoD and OPM receive them, unless the comment contains security-sensitive material, confidential business information, or other information whose public disclosure is restricted by statute. If such material is received, we will provide a reference to that material in the version of the comment that is placed in the docket. The system is an “anonymous access†system, which means that DoD and OPM will not know your identity, email address, or other contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment. Unless a comment is submitted anonymously, the names of all commenters will be public information. Please ensure your comments are submitted within the specified open comment period. Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked “late,†and DoD and OPM are not required to consider them in formulating a final decision. Before acting on this proposal, we will consider all comments we receive on or before the closing date for comments. We will consider comments filed late if it is possible to do so without incurring expense or delay. We may change this proposal in light of the comments we receive. Mailed or hand-delivered comments must be in paper form. No mailed or hand-delivered comments in electronic form (CDs, floppy disk, or other media) will be accepted.

Persons who know their profession, and do their jobs well but have a less pleasing personality will fare less well than those whom everyone likes. The "pat" answer to this will be that supervisors treat employees fairly - but history proves that wrong, power corrupts
