3206-AO84 202504 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 3206 Office of Personnel Management OPM Suitability and Fitness

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) plans to finalize its rulemaking to amend the Federal Government personnel vetting adjudicative criteria for determining suitability or fitness.  The purpose of the proposed rule is to improve the rigor and timeliness by which OPM and agencies vet individuals for risk to the integrity and efficiency of the service, and to make clear that individuals who engage in serious misconduct while employed in Federal service are subject to the same suitability procedures and actions as applicants for employment.
