    The Honorable Donald J. Devine                 ff   liii
    Director, Office of Personnel                     116343
      Management

    Dear Dr. Devine:

         Subject: Obstacles Hamper the Office of Personnel
                   Management's Evaluation of the Implementa-
                   tion of the 1978 Civil Service Reform Act
                   (FPCD-81-69)

         We have recently completed a limited study of the Office
    of Personnel Management's (OPM's) 5-year strategy for evalu-
    ating the implementation and impact of the Civil Service Re-
    form Act of 1978 (CSRA). In that study, we identified prob-
    lems which, we believe, could hamper the collection of data
    needed to evaluate CSRA. We are therefore advising you of
    our findings to assist you in your consideration of the
    evaluation strategy.

         We identified the following management and technical
    weaknesses which, we believe, warrant your careful consider-
    ation.

          --The basic objectives of the evaluation are not clearly
            defined.

          --The effective central management of the evaluation's
            activities and resources is hampered.

          --The design and implementation of the evaluation have
            technical limitations.

     In view of these weaknesses, we are concerned whether the
     ongoing and planned series of studies will provide the infor-
     mation anticipated by the evaluation strategy.


                                                       (966006)
