The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has released a notice identifying Schedule A, B, and C appointing authorities for individual agencies that were either established or revoked in October 2020. Schedule A allows certain employees to be hired for disaster loan administration, with the service duration not exceeding seven years unless approved by OPM. There were no Schedule B authorities reported for the month, but a few Schedule C appointments were approved, with none revoked. This information is published in the Federal Register to maintain transparency in personnel management.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to let people know about new short-term jobs and changes to hiring rules that happened for one month in 2020. They do this to show they are being open and fair about how they hire people for special jobs like helping with disaster loans.
