Temporary Schedule C Positions
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) proposes to revise its regulations which permit agencies to establish temporary Schedule C positions in order to assist a department or agency head during the period immediately following a change in presidential administration, when a new department or agency head has entered on duty, or when a new department or agency is created. Agencies currently differentiate between identical temporary and new temporary Schedule C positions. They are also subject to an overall limit of new positions they may establish, which was set over 10 years ago. To simplify the Schedule C appointment process and respond to agency needs, OPM proposes to merge the two temporary Schedule C authorities into a single temporary appointing authority, and to adjust agencies' position quota to a more realistic level. OPM is also codifying a requirement in law which deals with the detailing of Schedule C incumbents to the White House.
