Variations to Staffing Regulations

Variations By Administrative Law Judge Examinations


The following variations are listed in chronological order. They are excerpted from the quarterly notices which are listed under Quarterly Notices of Variations .

Variations from the June 21, 1996, notice:

Section 5.1 of civil service rule V requires that like variations be granted in like circumstances. Therefore, if an agency believes it has a case which parallels the one described in this notice, a variation may be requested. Agencies are reminded, however, that variation is appropriate only when no other authority exists to remedy the hardship or practical difficulty. All requests for variation must be sent through the headquarters of the agency or department involved and must be transmitted to the Office of Personnel Management for final action. Agencies do not have authority to approve variations.
