Equal Employment Opportunity

In State And Local Governments:

Improving The Federal Role



To encourage equal employment oppor-
tunity in State and local governments,
agencies receiving funds under a number
of Federal programs are required to es-
tablish merit systems that conform to
standards issued by the Office of Person-
nel Management. Responsibility for ad-
ministering the standards is shared by
OPM and the Federal agencies.

There are insufficent criteria to deter-
mine whether a personnel system con-
forms to the merit standards, and there
has been a lack of coordination and co-
operation between OPM and the Federal
agencies in reviewing personnel adminis-
tration activities. As a result, equal em-
ployment opportunity deficiencies have
not always been corrected promptly.
GAO makes a number of recommenda-
tions to step up enforcement of OPM's
merit standards.
