        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is required to annually publish updates to the information currently contained in appendix A to 5 CFR part 581-List of Agents Designated to Accept Legal Process and appendix B to 5 CFR part 581-List of Agents Designated to Facilitate the Service of Legal Process on Federal Employees.  appendix A to 5 CFR part 582-List of Agents Designated to Accept Legal Process contains a supplementary list specific to service of process for commercial garnishment of Federal employees pay.  Since the last updates in 2000, there have been changes to both process and technology that require revisions to parts 581 and 582. For instance, payroll activities are now conducted primarily via e-payroll by Shared Service Centers.  Additionally, addresses and physical locations for each designated agent change with some frequency.  OPM proposes revising section 581.201 to transfer the function of annual updates to the operations division within OPM responsible for payroll functions.  The appendices will either be modified to account for changes in designated agents or will be struck altogether, along with cross-references, and replaced with an annual Notice in the Federal Register and ongoing updates to a designated website.]]></ABSTRACT>
