Comments:

Sections 9901.211 – 212, 9901.221 – 222 – Pay Bands – The proposed regulations do not actually provide details; they merely say that DoD will issue internal policies covering the classification system at some future date. The regulations say that DoD may establish career groups, pay schedules and pay bands that will replace the current classification system. An individual employee will be able to request that DoD or OPM reconsider the classification of his or her position. OPM’s final determination will not be subject to further review or appeal. How can one comment on these sections effectively when there are no details provided?
