Source: The provisions of Executive Order 9830 of Feb. 24, 1947, appear at 12 FR 1259, 3 CFR, 1943-1948 Comp., p. 606, unless otherwise noted.
Part I--Organization for Personnel Administration
§01.1 Responsibility for personnel management. Personnel management is a primary responsibility of all who plan, direct, or supervise the work of Federal employees. Personnel management methods should be consistent for the Government as a single employer and yet be sufficiently flexible to meet the diversified conditions in the Federal service.
§01.2 Office of Personnel Management responsibilities under this order. (a) The Office shall be responsible to the President for the proper application of the Civil Service Act and Rules, the Veterans' Preference Act, and all other applicable statutes and Executive orders imposing responsibilities on the Office.
(b) The Office shall exercise and provide leadership in personnel matters throughout the Federal service, and in the discharge of this responsibility shall, whenever practicable, consult Federal agencies.
(c) The Office shall develop and promulgate standards, applicable to the competitive service and designed to protect and promote its efficiency, for the reinstatement or reemployment of former Federal employees, and for the promotion, demotion, reassignment, and transfer of present employees. The Office shall also determine the applicability, in general and in specific cases, of the reemployment provisions of (1) section 8 of the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940 (54 Stat. 980) as amended (50 U.S.C. App. 308), to persons who left the Federal service to serve in the armed forces of the United States, and (2) section 2 of the act of June 23, 1943, 57 Stat. 162, as amended (50 U.S.C. App. 1472), to persons who left the Federal service to serve in the merchant marine; and the Office may issue such regulations or instructions as it may deem necessary or appropriate for carrying out the said reemployment provisions.
(d) The Office shall prescribe procedures to be followed by agencies in connection with removals, demotions, and suspensions in the competitive service which will insure equitable and uniform treatment to employees against whom adverse action is proposed.
(e) The Office shall, when consistent with law and with the economical and efficient administration of the Government, delegate to the agencies its authority to act in personnel matters in accordance with standards issued by the Office.
(f) The Office shall maintain an adequate system of inspection to determine that equitable and sound application of statutes, Executive orders, regulations and standards relating to personnel management is being carried out by the agencies. Whenever the inspection indicates failure on the part of an agency to adhere to established policies, regulations and standards, the Office shall take such action as may be appropriate to bring about adherence thereto. In this connection, the Office may suspend or revoke any delegation of its authority.
(g) The Office shall in the exercise of its personnel functions give all practicable assistance to international organizations in which the United States participates, to the Puerto Rico civil service board, and to such Federal, Territorial, State, or local agencies as shall request its cooperation and offer like cooperation, including, when appropriate, the sharing of any necessary expenses. Under such regulations as may be jointly agreed upon, the Office shall conduct or join with such agencies in conducting examinations or other personnel functions. In its discretion, the Office may certify eligibles from appropriate registers maintained by the Puerto Rico civil service board, Federal or Territorial boards, or civil service boards of State and local agencies, if such boards agree, and the Office finds that the requirements of law concerning appointments to the competitive service have been met. If such boards so desire, they may, upon agreement with the Office, certify eligibles from appropriate registers maintained by the Office.

§01.3 Agency responsibilities for personnel management. (a) The head of each agency, in accordance with applicable statutes, Executive orders, and rules, shall be responsible for personnel management in his agency. To assist and advise him in carrying out this responsibility he shall maintain or establish such office or division of personnel as may be required. He shall designate a director of personnel or other similarly responsible official to be in charge of such office or division. Such director or other official shall represent the head of the agency in personnel matters, subject to his instructions.
(b) The head of each agency shall provide for the cooperation of his agency with the Office of Personnel Management in the conduct of personnel matters.
(d) The head of each agency shall remove, demote, or reassign to another position any employee in the competitive service whose conduct or capacity is such that his removal, demotion, or reassignment will promote the efficiency of the service.
[Sec. 01.3 amended by Executive Order 12107 of Dec. 28, 1978, 44 FR 1055, 3 CFR, 1978 Comp., p. 264]
§01.4 Committees of expert examiners and boards of examiners. (a) In order to promote the effective recruitment and placement of persons for the Federal service, the departmental and field service resources of the Federal agencies may be utilized to the extent permitted by law. After consulting the agency or agencies concerned, the Office may establish in the departmental service committees of examiners, expert in their respective fields, for scientific, professional, or technical positions, and in the field service, boards of examiners for any position. If such a position is peculiar to any agency, the committee or board shall be composed of not less than three qualified officers or employees of the agency concerned. If such a position exists in more than one agency, the committee or board shall be composed of not less than three qualified officers or employees of the agencies concerned.
[Sec. 01.4 amended by Executive Order 12107 of Dec. 28, 1978, 44 FR 1055, 3 CFR, 1978 Comp., p. 264]
§01.5 Federal Personnel Council. (a) The Council of Personnel Administration shall hereafter be known as the Federal Personnel Council and shall be continued within the Office of Personnel Management.
(b) The membership of the Council shall consist of a chairman, the director of personnel or official responsible for personnel matters in each agency subject to the Civil Service Rules, one additional member designated by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and such additional member or members as the Office shall designate.
(c) The Chairman of the Council shall be appointed by the Office of Personnel Management after consultation with the Council and shall serve as a member of the staff of the Office.
(d) The purpose of the Council, functioning as an advisory body, shall be to promote through study and discussion the application, interpretation, and development of personnel policies and practices. Its findings and recommendations shall be submitted to the Office and may be submitted to the President or to other Federal agencies.
(e) Where there are substantial concentrations of Federal agencies in a geographical area, subsidiary councils may be established and maintained as recommended by the Council and approved by the Office. The membership of such councils shall consist of the heads of field establishments in such areas or their designated representatives and of the designated representatives of the Office.
