Subject: Comments on Proposed NSPS Regulation—RIN 3206-AK76/0790-AH82 Under section 9901.351, Pay administration and performance Management the mere fact that the ability to gain pay raises are only at the mercy of the employee’s manager, again replacing a system that has been effective. This as other issues of NSPS will promote the “good ole boy” system opening the gates to discrimination, cronyism, and nepotism. Fair and equitable treatment will exist no longer dramatically effecting fair practices for all employees. As a Federal employee of the Department of Defense, I am extremely concerned that our congress has empowered the Secretary of Defense in a manner that allows him to be a dictator under the disguise of national security. The imposition of NSPS has created a system, by which, takes the rights of employees and their unions to effectively represent labor issues. This need for flexibility has been in effect for many years without adversely impacting the Department of Defense. Unions and Federal have never impeded DOD in any efforts concerning national security. Sincerely, Kent Salvage GS-09
