§9507 Streamlined demonstration project authority

Summary

The Secretary of the Treasury may run a chapter 47 demonstration project for the IRS even if other flexibilities under sections 9502–9510 are being used. When the project is the type named in section 4701(a)(4), special changes apply to how section 4703 works: the project plan must say the purpose, which employees are covered, what the project will do, the expected results, and how it will be evaluated; one listed subsection of section 4703(b) is removed; the notice time is shortened from 180 days to 30 days; the final plan must be sent to both Houses of Congress; a legal reference in section 4703(c)(1) is changed to point to subchapter V of chapter 63 or subpart G of part III; two requirements in section 4703(d) (paragraphs (1)(A) and (2)) do not apply; and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the Secretary of the Treasury may, based on the evaluation, waive the project’s scheduled end date despite the limit in section 4703(d)(1)(B). At least 90 days before they waive the end date, OPM must publish a notice in the Federal Register and tell both Houses of Congress in writing.
