Agriculture Department; Alternative Personnel Management System; Demonstration Project

This action provides for changes in the final project plan published March 9, 1990, to modify the demonstration project coverage to include term appointments. The project was originally conceived to test an alternative to the traditional recruiting and hiring system in an anticipated tight labor market as described in Workforce 2000 and Civil Service 2000. On March 8, 1996, a Federal Register notice was published to modify the list of experiment sites to include comparison sites. This change provided the opportunity to test these flexibilities in a downsizing environment with a more than adequate high-quality labor market even though there are occasional shortages of qualified candidates. By amending the project plan to include term appointments, a need to operate a parallel examining system for permanent and term positions will be eliminated thus avoiding administrative inefficiencies and ineffectiveness.
