OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
Civilian Acquisition Workforce Personnel Demonstration Project;
Department of Defense
AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: Notice of amendment to this demonstration in order to list all
organizations that are eligible to participate in the project and make
the resulting adjustments to the table that describes the project's
workforce demographics and union representation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Defense (DoD), with the approval of the
Office of Personnel Management (OPM), may conduct a personnel
demonstration project within DoD's civilian acquisition workforce and
those supporting personnel assigned to work directly with it. (See
Section 4308 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
1996 (Pub. L. 104-106; 10 U.S.C.A. Sec. 1701 note), as amended by
section 845 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
1998 (Pub. L. 105-85)). This notice amends the project plan for this
demonstration to list as eligible to participate (1) all organizations
composed of civilian acquisition workforce members, that is, personnel
in acquisition positions designated pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 1721 and (2)
all organizations with teams of personnel in which more than half the
team consists of members of the acquisition workforce and the remainder
consists of supporting personnel assigned to work directly with the
acquisition workforce. The notice also makes the resulting adjustments
to the table that describes the project's demographics and union
representation.
DATES: This amendment is effective July 1, 2002.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: DoD: Anthony D. Echols, Civilian
Acquisition Workforce Personnel Demonstration Project, 2001 North
Beauregard Street, Suite 750, Alexandria, VA 22311, 703-681-3553. OPM:
Mary Lamary, U.S. Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E Street NW.,
Room 7460, Washington, DC 20415, 202-606-2820.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Background
OPM approved and published the project plan for the Civilian
Acquisition Workforce Personnel Demonstration Project in the Federal
Register on January 8, 1999 (Volume 64, Number 5, part VII). An
amendment was published in the May 21, 2001, Federal Register, Volume
66, Number 98, to (1) correct discrepancies in the list of occupational
series included in the project and (2) authorize managers to offer a
buy-in to Federal employees entering the project after initial
implementation. A second amendment was published in the April 24, 2002,
Federal Register, Volume 67, Number 79 to (1) make employees in the top
broadband level of their career path eligible to receive a ``very
high'' overall contribution score (OCS) and (2) reduce the minimum
rating period under the Contribution-based Compensation and Appraisal
System (CCAS) to 90 consecutive calendar days. This demonstration
project involves hiring and appointment authorities; broadbanding;
simplified classification; a contribution-based compensation and
appraisal system; revised reduction-in-force procedures; academic
degree and certificate training; and sabbaticals.
2. Overview
This amendment will reduce the need for future Federal Register
amendments regarding project coverage by listing all organizations that
are eligible to participate in this demonstration. Further, this
amendment makes the resulting adjustments to the project's demographics
and union representation.
Dated: June 26, 2002.
Office of Personnel Management.
Kay Coles James,
Director.
I. Executive Summary
The project was designed by a Process Action Team (PAT) under the
authority of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and
Technology, with the participation of and review by DoD and OPM. The
purpose of the project is to enhance the quality, professionalism, and
management of the DoD acquisition workforce through improvements in the
human resources management system.
[[Page 44251]]
II. Introduction
This demonstration project provides managers, at the lowest
practical level, the authority, control, and flexibility they need to
achieve quality acquisition processes and quality products. This
project not only provides a system that retains, recognizes, and
rewards employees for their contribution, but also supports their
personal and professional growth.
A. Purpose
The purpose of this notice is to list all organizations that are
eligible to participate in the Civilian Acquisition Workforce Personnel
Demonstration Project. A comprehensive table will reduce the need for
future Federal Register amendments. Other provisions of the approved
plan are unchanged. Pursuant to 5 CFR 470.315, changes are hereby made
to the Federal Register, Civilian Acquisition Workforce Personnel
Demonstration Project; Department of Defense; Notice, Friday, January
8, 1999, Volume 64, Number 5, Part VII, pages 1432-7 and 1447.
B. Employee Notification and Collective Bargaining Requirements
The demonstration project program office shall notify employees of
this amendment by posting it on demonstration's web site (http://
www.acq.osd.mil/acqdemo/new--site). As stated in the existing
demonstration project plan, ``Employees within a unit to which a labor
organization is accorded exclusive recognition under Chapter 71 of
title 5, United States Code, shall not be included as part of the
demonstration project unless the exclusive representative and the
agency have entered into a written agreement covering participation in
and implementation of the project'' (Ibid., p. 1432, section II. D.,
first paragraph).
III. Personnel System Changes
1. Section II. E. Delete all of Section II. E. and replace it with
the following:
E. Eligible Organizations

2. Section II F.: Delete the entire first paragraph of Section II.
F. and replace it with the following two paragraphs:
In determining the scope of the demonstration project, primary
consideration was given to the number and diversity of occupations
within (1) the DoD acquisition workforce and (2) the teams of
personnel, more than half of which consist of members of the
acquisition workforce and the remainder of supporting personnel
assigned to work directly with the acquisition workforce. This can
include positions in the following fields, as well as any other
position or group of positions in acquisition-related fields or that
perform acquisition-related duties: program management; systems
planning, research, development, engineering, and testing; procurement,
including contracting; industrial property management; logistics;
quality control and assurance; manufacturing and production; business,
cost estimating, financial management, and auditing; education,
training, and career development; construction; and joint development
and production with other Government agencies and foreign governments.
Additionally, in determining the scope of the demonstration
project, current DoD human resources management design goals and
priorities for the entire civilian workforce were
[[Page 44256]]
considered. While the intent of this project is to provide DoD
activities with increased control and accountability for their covered
workforce, the decision was made to restrict development efforts
initially to covered General Schedule (GS) positions. Employees covered
under the Performance Management and Recognition System Termination Act
(pay plan code GM) are General Schedule employees and are covered under
the demonstration project.
3. Replace current Table 3 and the first sentence of the final
paragraph of Section II. F. with the following:

Although more than 100,000 employees have been identified for
eligibility to participate in this demonstration project, the project
is limited by statute to a maximum of 95,000 participants at any given
time. Of the approximately 100,000 personnel currently eligible to
participate in the project, 55 percent are represented by labor unions.
The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), the National
Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE), and the National Association of
Government Employees (NAGE) represent the vast majority of bargaining
unit employees.
