         Subject: Office of Personnel Management: Health Insurance Premium Conversion

         Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
         major rule promulgated by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), entitled
         Health Insurance Premium Conversion (RIN: 3206-AJ17). We received the rule on
         July 24, 2000. It was published in the Federal Register as an interim rule with request
         for comments on July 19, 2000. 65 Fed. Reg. 44644.

         The interim rule enables federal employees to pay Federal Employees Health
         Benefits premiums with pre-tax dollars, as provided by Section 125 of the Internal
         Revenue Code.

         Enclosed is our assessment of OPM's compliance with the procedural steps required
         by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. Our review
         indicates that OPM complied with the applicable requirements.
