Comment on Proposed Rule “Improving Performance, Accountability and Responsiveness in the Civil Service” (RIN 3206-AO01)

We write in strong opposition to the Office of Personnel Management’s proposed rule titled “Improving Performance, Accountability and Responsiveness in the Civil Service,” published on April 23, 2025. Contrary to its stated intentions, this proposed rule would severely undermine the integrity and professionalism of the federal civil service by
reviving and expanding upon the discredited “Schedule F” policy from the first Trump administration—rebranded as “Schedule Policy/Career.”
