Personnel Management Office
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) proposes amending 5 CFR part 250 by replacing Human Capital Operating Plans (HCOPs) with Annual Staffing Plans (ASPs), Human Capital Reviews (HCRs) with Annual Staffing Reviews (ASRs), and the HRStat quarterly review process with Quarterly Staffing Plan Performance Reviews. The proposed changes also strengthen the role of the agency Chief Human Capital Officer (CHCO) by requiring the CHCO to have appropriate visibility, control and oversight of human capital functions within the agency. The proposed rule would modify, and reduce in number, the required survey questions for annual employee surveys.
