5 U.S.C. § 6133: Regulations; technical…

Summary

The Office of Personnel Management must write the rules needed to run the programs created under this law. The Office must also give agencies educational materials and technical help to set up and run those programs. To make the help useful, the Office must regularly review agency programs and check how they affect government efficiency, transit and traffic, energy use, public service, job opportunities, and employees’ job satisfaction and life outside work. For employees of the Library of Congress, the Librarian of Congress uses the Office’s authority. For the Government Publishing Office, the Director of the GPO does. For the Architect of the Capitol and the Botanic Garden, the Architect of the Capitol does.
