Summary

The Office of Personnel Management must make rules needed to run the programs created here. It must give agencies educational materials, technical tools, and help to set up and keep those programs. To make the help useful, the Office must review agency programs from time to time. Those reviews must look at six things: government efficiency; mass transit and traffic; energy use; public service; more full- and part-time job opportunities; and employees’ job satisfaction and nonwork life. For employees of the Library of Congress, the Government Publishing Office, and the Architect of the Capitol (and the Botanic Garden), those agencies’ heads (the Librarian of Congress, the GPO Director, and the Architect of the Capitol) exercise the Office’s authority.
