**Science and Technology Reinvention Laboratory Personnel Management**  **Demonstration Project, Department of Navy, Office of Naval Research (ONR);**  **Proposed Amendment and Corrections**

**AGENCY :**  Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Civilian Personnel Policy) (DUSD (CPP)), Department of Defense (DoD).

**ACTION :**  Notice of proposed amendments and administrative corrections to the ONR Demonstration Project (75 FR 77380–77447, December 10, 2010).

**SUMMARY :**  On December 10, 2010 (75 FR 77380–77447), DoD published a notice of approval of a personnel management demonstration project for eligible ONR employees. Within that notice, there were several typographical errors discovered. Additionally, after the publication of the notice and implementation of the demonstration project, ONR determined that for effective personnel management practices, amendments need to be made to provide better consistency in the use of the extended probationary periods for newly hired employees, and to more thoroughly cite the waivers to regulations required to apply these extended probationary periods. Amendments must also be made to better define minimally successful performance for assignments involving displacement, and to remove the requirement that advancements in certain Pay Bands need Executive Director’s approval. This notice makes the required corrections and amendments.

**DATES :**  This amendment may not be implemented until a 30-day comment period is provided, comments addressed, and a final Federal Register notice published. To be considered, written comments must be submitted on or before July 10, 2013 Authorities impacted by this Federal Register notice may not be applied retroactively and will be applied only to those personnel hired on/after the publication date of this Federal Register notice.

**ADDRESSES :**  Send comments on or before the comment due date by mail to Mr. William T. Cole, Defense CivilianPersonnel Advisory Services, NonTraditional Personnel Programs (DCPAS–NTPP), Suite 05F16, 4800 Mark Center, Alexandria, VA 22350– 1100; by email to william.cole@cpms.osd.mil; or by fax to

Corrections

1. On page 77390, section III.F. Extended Probationary Period, replace the section with: All current laws and regulations for the current probationary period are retained with the exception of new employees hired under the demonstration. Candidates hired into the Administrative Support (NC) career track will serve a one year probationary period; candidates hired into the Administrative Specialist and Professional (NO) career track will serve a two year probationary period; and candidates hired into the Science and Engineering Professional (NP) career track will serve a three year probationary period. Employees with veterans’ preference will maintain their rights under current law and regulation.

Reason for amendment: This change allows consistent application of the extended probationary period, and better aligns the probationary period with the time needed to demonstrate satisfactory performance within each individual career track.

2. On page 77402, figure number in footer on bottom of ‘‘Eligibility Chart for Pay Increases’’: Replace ‘‘Figure 10. Eligibility Chart for Pay Increases’’ with ‘‘Figure 9. Eligibility Chart for Pay Increases.’’
