Yesterday, the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had received a final rule from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) on “Assuring Responsive and Accountable Federal Executive Management”. The notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this rulemaking was published on May 2nd, 2025.
The rulemaking is expected to modify the performance management regulations governing the Senior Executive Service (SES) by:
Amending 5 CFR
430.305(a)(5) by removing the prohibition on the use of a forced distribution
of ratings, and
Amending 5 CFR 430.308(d) to eliminate the non-statutory performance factor of “promoting diversity, inclusion, and engagement.”
I am reporting this here because it is an integral part of
the Administration’s attempt to radically reform the executive branch. I do not
expect to cover this final rule in any detail in this blog beyond noting its
publication in the federal register in the appropriate ‘Short Takes’ post.
