Title: Probation on Initial Appointment to a Competitive Position; Performance-Based Reduction In Grade and Removal Actions; and Adverse Actions 
Abstract:

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is finalizing regulations governing probation on initial appointment to a competitive position, performance-based reduction in grade and removal actions, and adverse actions. The rule rescinds certain regulatory changes made in an OPM final rule published at 85 FR 65940 on November 16, 2020, per EO 14003 on Protecting the Federal Workforce. This rule also finalizes new requirements for procedural and appeal rights for dual status National Guard technicians for certain adverse actions. Elements of the November 16, 2020, rule  due to statutory changes will remain in effect, such as procedures for disciplinary action against supervisors who retaliate against whistleblowers and the inclusion of appeals rights information in proposal notices for adverse actions.
