Hoyerk3 House of Representatives ~_7e _V. _I _b t '! l..,rading . Dear Mr. Hoyer: . f \i-b- t • ./2 . We refer to your letter of June 2, 1983, requesting an opinion from this Office concerning whether a press release issued by the Office of Personnel Management'(OPM) violated , certain restrictions on the use of appropriations. Our review leads us to conclude that the press release did not constitute a violation of restrictions on the use of appropriated funds. On March 30, 1983, OPM published proposed regulations in the Federal Register (48 Fed. Reg. 1.3342) entitled Per- S. •formance Maiagement System that were designed to establish S..performance based incentives for the General Schedule pay system. The.new regulations were to make significant changes in the existing compensation system. The Subcom- mittee on Treasury, Postal Service and General Government, House Committ-ee on Appropriations, voted to delay implemen- r tation of the proposed OPM regulations.until GAO could com- plete a study of the impact of the proposal. On May 5, 1983, OPM issued a press release that reads as follows: SUBCO'-1hiTTEE VOTE 'WOULD TAKE PAY FROM GOVERNMENT 'S BEST WORKERS,' DEVINE SAYS (WASHINGTON, D.C.)--A House Subcommittee vote to delay implementation of the Reagan Admin- istration's _erfor;ance management reforms of the civil servize 'would postpone pay increases for the governrment's best workers', Donald J. Devine, Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) said today. 'Four Democratic members of the House Subcom- mittee on.Treasury-Postal Service-General Govern- ..:...merit Appropriations have separated themselves from the President and the American people who want more efficient government as well as from* the civil servants who support pay-for-performance, Devine noted. All three Republican subcommittee members opposed the appropriations amendment that could bar the Administration's proposed reforms implementation until October 1 or until the General Accounting Office reviews the reforms. .. 5Y m|' !
