establishment and maintenance of 

reserve stocks. While aggregate 

production quotas are of primary 

importance to large manufacturers, their 

impact upon small entities is neither 

negative nor beneficial. Accordingly, the 

Deputy Administrator has determined 

that this action does not require a 

regulatory flexibility analysis. 

This action meets the applicable 

standards set forth in Sections 3(a) and 

3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988 Civil 

Justice Reform. 

This action will not result in the 

expenditure by State, local, and tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or by the 

private sector, of $120,000,000 or more 

in any one year, and will not 

significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments. Therefore, no actions were 

deemed necessary under the provisions 

of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995. 

This action is not a major rule as 

defined by Section 804 of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996. This action will 

not result in an annual effect on the 

economy of $100,000,000 or more; a 

major increase in costs or prices; or 

significant adverse effects on 

competition, employment, investment, 

productivity, innovation, or on the 

ability of United States-based 

companies to compete with foreignbased companies in domestic and 

export markets.

AGENCY: Office of Personnel

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Civil 

Service Rule VI (5 CFR 6.1) requires the 

U.S. Office of Personnel Management 

(OPM) to publish notice of all 

exceptions granted under Schedules A, 

B, and C. Title 5, Code of Federal 

Regulations, 213.103(c), further requires 

that a consolidated listing, current as of 

June 30 of each year, be published 

annually as a notice in the Federal 

Register at www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/. 

Agencies will notice the change in 

format of this notice from previous 

editions. The format has changed 

because it is not appropriate to set out 

what appears to be regulatory text in a 

notice document and therefore 

references to specific sections of the 

Code of Federal Regulations have been 

removed. The notice that follows is a 

summary of all schedule A, B, and C 

Excepted authorities. OPM maintains 

continuing information on the status of 

all Schedule A, B, and C excepted 

appointing authorities. Some of these 

exceptions are codified in the Code of 

Federal Regulations at 5 CFR, part 213 

while others are not. We have identified 

those authorities below which are 

codified and those which are not. We 

remind agencies to consult the CFR 

before using these governmentwide 

authorities. Agencies are also reminded 

to consult their agency headquarters 

before using any agency-specific 

authority. Additionally, the authorities 

are subject to the provisions of 5 CFR, 

part 302 unless specifically exempted 

from those procedures. Interested 

parties needing information about 

specific authorities during the year may 

obtain information by writing to the 

Executive Resources Services Group, 

Center for Performance Management 

Systems and Evaluation, Human Capital 

Leadership and Merit System 

Accountability Division, Office of 

Personnel Management, 1900 E Street, 

NW., Room 6484, Washington, DC 

20415, or by calling (202) 606–2246. 

The following listing summarizes the 

Schedule A excepted authorities 

authorized for Government-wide use. 

These authorities are codified in 5 CFR 

part 213. These excepted authorities are 

current as of June 30, 2009. Please 

consult the CFR to read the full 

authority. 

Schedule A 

The following are Schedule A 

authorities that are authorized for use 

by the entire Executive Civil Service: 

1. Positions of Chaplain and 

Chaplain’s Assistant. 

2. Positions to which appointments 

are made by the President without
