Comments:
Section 9901.104 is misleading. It states that only the specific chapters of title 5 of the U.S. Code listed there may be waived by NSPS regulations. According to the NSPS law, 5 USC 9902(b)(5), the NSPS “shall not be limited by any specific law or authority under this title [title 5, U.S. Code], or by any rule or regulation prescribed under this title. . .” Thus, there are many more laws and regulations on DOD’s chopping block other than the laws listed in section 9901.104. Please change this Section of the Rule so that it states "the truth and nothing but the truth" (sound familiar?). Comment on the overall document: The above is just one instance in which this document is misleading. Does the contemporary personnel management practice include deceiving the employees? Do the right thing, throw your document on the scrap heap and provide one that will speak honestly to the affected employees.
