It is OPM’s responsibility to help agencies to build a highquality and diverse Federal workforce based on merit system
principles, which America needs to guarantee freedom, promote prosperity, and ensure the security of this great Nation.
OPM leads Federal agencies in the strategic management
of their human capital, proposes and implements human resources management policy, and provides agencies with ongoing advice and technical assistance to implement these policies and initiatives.
In 2007, OPM will work to implement major reforms in
the Federal civil service, as contained in the Administration’s
proposed Working for America Act. These reforms include
a multi-year effort to replace the current General Schedule
pay system with a modern classification, pay, and performSfmt 3616

ance management system that is both results-driven and market-based.
OPM also provides for veterans’ preference in Federal hiring and manages the process for personnel security and background checks for suitability and national security clearances.
OPM continues to honor the Government’s commitment to
employees by managing the trust funds that support the retirement and insurance benefits they earn, and delivering
benefit services and support to civil servants both during
and after their Federal careers.
The 2007 Budget will allow OPM to implement long-term
human capital strategies that deliver results, pursue an aggressive agenda of policy initiatives to transform human resources management, and enhance the values of the civil service. New human resources management policies will streamline the Federal hiring process, decrease time to hire, and
change how Federal employees are paid and how their job
performance is evaluated. Many of these polices will be driven
by the lessons learned in setting up the new human resources
management system of the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) and of other agencies with contemporary and efficient
personnel systems.
The functions and objectives of the OPM Divisions are:
1. Strategic Human Resources Policy (SHRP) promulgates
polices to strengthen leadership and succession planning; provides quality workforce information and common standards
for agency payroll and human resource (HR) systems; supports improved employee/labor relations and security/suitability requirements; supports new HR systems for Department of Defense (DOD), DHS, and other agencies; furthers
competitive compensation and benefits systems; and improves
the hiring process.
In 2007, OPM will continue to lead the design, development, and implementation of HR policies and strategies that
will aid Federal agencies in adopting human resource management systems that improve their ability to build successful, high performance organizations. Major emphasis areas
in 2007 will include supporting the Administration’s civil
service reform initiative. OPM will work to maximize HR
flexibilities and results-driven compensation across the Federal Government.
In an effort to promote the Government’s ability to attract
and retain qualified employees, OPM will continue enhancements of the Senior Presidential Management Fellows and
Federal Candidate Development programs, and will develop
and make available other mechanisms to enhance agency recruitment programs.
OPM will assess the results of its strategic HR policy activities by analysis of data collected by the Federal Human Capital Survey and Federal Benefits Survey in 2006. OPM will
continue to track and report on the extent to which agencies
use innovations such as hiring flexibilities, telework, and student loan repayments. It will collect and analyze data obtained by agencies in administering annual employee satisfaction surveys which are required by statute. The result will
be to provide broad, Government-wide indicators on the status
of Federal human capital that will benefit lawmakers, managers, and employees, and enable OPM to develop appropriate
human resource polices.
Program performance.—During 2005, OPM developed
polices to support agencies’ leadership succession planning efforts, specifically for a Government-wide Senior
Execuitve Service (SES) Federal Candidate Development
Program and the Presidential Management Fellows Program. The agency also issued regulations to establish
an SES pay-for-performance program and to specify the

criteria that performance management systems covering
senior executives or senior professionals must meet. As
a result, most agencies now have approved or provisionally approved programs in place. In addition, OPM
worked jointly with DHS to issue proposed regulations
to establish a new human resource management system
within DHS. OPM also partnered with DOD to implement
provisions of the Defense Authorization Act of 2004, as
high level staff from both agencies worked with unions
representing the various DOD employee groups and other
stakeholders on the new personnel system. Finally, OPM
developed a policy structure to offer High-Deductible
Health Plans with Health Savings Accounts under the
Federal Employees Health Benefit Program.
In 2006, OPM plans to issue additional common data
standards for payroll systems; publish proposed regulations for pay-banding at the IRS; and issue regulations
on staffing and employee development, and classification
and qualification standards for new job families. In 2007,
OPM will focus on implementing major reforms in the
Federal civil service, as contained in the Administration’s
proposed Working for America Act.
2. Human Capital Leadership and Merit Systems Accountability (HCLMSA) leads the Government-wide effort to transform human capital management so that agencies are held
accountable for managing their workforce effectively, efficiently, and in accordance with merit system principles to
achieve mission results.
In 2007, as part of the President’s Management Agenda,
OPM continues to work with Federal agencies as the owner
of the Strategic Management of Human Capital initiative.
OPM uses its leadership position to establish guidelines for
human capital under the Standards for Success in the Human
Capital Assessment and Accountability Framework. OPM provides guidance to agencies in the assessment of their human
capital programs and assists agencies in preparing for personnel reforms Government-wide. As part of this guidance,
OPM developed specific milestones that contain tools, models,
and training to hold agencies accountable for their human
capital practices. OPM also works with agencies to ensure
that agency programs are being managed to accomplish the
mission and are in accordance with merit system principles.
Furthermore, OPM assists agencies in building and strengthening their internal human capital accountability programs
to include data collection and analysis, program evaluation,
and compliance with merit system principles.
In 2007, HCLMSA will provide technical assistance to agencies in various ways. For instance, OPM has statutory mandates to pre-approve agency actions in a wide range of human
capital matters. HCLMSA, through agencies’ Human Capital
Officers, reviews and acts on agency requests on such authorities as: Volunteer Early Retirement Authority; Volunteer Separation Incentive Authority; dual compensation waivers; temporary and term appointment extensions; classification appeals; and pay and leave claims. Through these review processes, HCLMSA staff work closely with agency HR staff to
ensure that each agency implements human capital programs
that are best suited to achieve the agency mission.
Program performance.—During 2005, HCLMSA successfully led the implementation of the Strategic Management of Human Capital initiative. As agencies improve
their management of human capital, more Federal employees are working for organizations that are closing
gaps in mission critical skills, better recognizing differences in levels of employee performance, developing
a cadre of potential leaders, and linking day-to-day work
to corporate goals.
HCLSMA also made progress in ensuring agencies comply with the merit system principles in 2005 by conducting audits of 120 Delegated Examining Units and

providing technical assistance and outreach to agencies.
These activities resulted in: hiring makeovers at 5 agencies that significantly reduced the time required to fill
vacancies; certifying 60 provisional and 2 full Senior Executive Service (SES) pay-for-performance plans; and
training for 2,900 military personnel at 28 facilities in
veterans’ rights and benefits in Federal recruitment systems and employment. In addition, HCLMSA administered the SES Qualifications Review Boards which led
to more than 500 SES appointments, as well as administered the Administrative Law Judges Program which
processed more than 500 agency requests for actions.
In 2006, OPM plans to have 20 major agencies meeting
targets for closing mission-critical occupation gaps and
also have 12 agencies meeting targets for closing leadership competency gaps.
3. Human Resources Products and Services (HRPS) provides
cost-effective products and services to help maintain the Government’s position as a competitive employer by assisting
agencies, employees, and annuitants with staffing, selection,
development, and retirement and insurance programs. In addition, HRPS is responsible for supporting the Department
of Justice in ensuring voting rights for American citizens.
The 2007 Budget includes funding to improve claims processing times and about $27 million to continue efforts to
greatly improve the speed and accuracy of Federal retiree
benefit payments by implementing the Retirement Systems
Modernization (RSM) effort. RSM is OPM’s central information technology strategy to meeting its long-term customer
service, business, and financial management goals for the
retirement benefits programs.
This project will replace OPM’s legacy information technology systems with modern technology, move from paper
to electronic recordkeeping, and transition important business
processes to meet the needs of our customers and employees.
RSM will deliver more cost-efficient and timely retirement
services, allow for agency life-cycle retirement counseling, and
provide employees and annuitants with access to account information and financial tools.
During 2006, OPM will license a defined benefits technology
solution to replace its legacy systems. OPM will also begin
the transition from paper-based to electronic record keeping,
modifying business processes and infrastructure of the program to support the modern technology. These modernization
activities will allow OPM to process retirement claims in a
much more timely and cost-efficient manner.
Program performance.—OPM sets ambitious targets for
its annual performance measures which assess progress
in achieving goals and determine whether OPM meets
its objectives. In 2005, OPM reduced the FERS claims
processing time from 97 days in 2004 to 93 days and
achieved a rate of 80 days for CSRS. OPM achieved its
target of 29 days for CSRS survivor claims processing
times in 2005. In 2006, OPM plans to achieve retirement
claims processing times of 30 days for FERS and CSRS.
Through the Federal Employees Health Benefits
(FEHB) program, OPM will continue to provide customers
with a variety of resources to make more informed health
insurance decisions, including health plan brochures and
website postings, health plan customer satisfaction survey
results, web-based comparison/decision tools, and performance results for managed care health plans. The
FEHB program offers comprehensive and competitive
benefit choices for Federal employees, annuitants and
family members, and helps the Federal government recruit and retain a high quality workforce.
In coming months, the Administration will identify options for increasing price competition among health plans
offered to Federal employees and retirees. In addition,
the Administration will work with stakeholders to better

coordinate the Medicare and the FEHB programs and
follow best practices from the private sector to ensure
high quality, cost-conscious choices for retirees. These important programs jointly finance health insurance for
about 1.9 million Federal retirees and their dependents.
In 2007, OPM will introduce an employee-pay-all dental
and vision benefits program to meet the dental and vision
insurance needs of Federal employees.
OPM will also continue to manage the Federal Employees’ Group Life Insurance Program, the Federal Long
Term Care Insurance Program which is the largest employer-sponsored long term care insurance program in
the world with over 210,000 enrollees, and the Flexible
Spending Account Program which allows employees to
pay for health and dependent care expenses on a pretax basis.
4. Federal Investigative Services Division (FISD) provides
background investigative services to agencies on a fee-forservice basis. These services include background investigations, suitability determinations, technical assistance to agencies’ security staff, and agency training on investigative services and adjudicative authorities and processes.
In 2007, funding will be used to provide for administrative
and contractor staff to handle suitability determinations to
ensure the fitness and suitability of Federal applicants for
and appointees to positions in the Federal services. FISD
will take adjudicative action in the most egregious cases
where suitability issues exist and provide uniform suitability
guidelines to facilitate agency focus on day-to-day suitability
issues. FISD will also continue to provide thorough suitability
determinations that can be sustained if appealed to the Merit
Systems Protection Board.
5. Management Services includes: OPM human resources,
equal employment opportunity, security, facilities, telecommunications, publishing, acquisitions, information technology management, risk management, strategic planning,
and financial management to support all of OPM’s goals. In
2007, OPM will continue to support agency-wide performance
reporting and independent evaluation of policies and programs.
OPM also manages the Human Resources Line of Business
(HR LoB) initiative which is transforming and modernizing
HR business processes and systems Government-wide. The
HR LoB has coordinated the selection and implementation
of five Shared Service Centers to provide technology solutions
to support Federal agencies Government-wide with HR management and back office transactional activities. The HR LoB
is also responsible for agency migration to these service centers.
In addition, the Enterprise Human Resources Integration
project is an e-Government initiative to transform human
resources processes from paper-based to electronic-based.
OPM operates and maintains a comprehensive data warehouse of HR information across the Executive branch. Cost
efficiencies are realized through these streamlined HR processes.
6. Executive Services includes: executive direction, legal advice and representation, public affairs, and legislative activities concerning OPM as well as assistance for the President’s
Commission on White House Fellows.

This appropriation provides agency-wide audit, investigative, evaluation, inspection, and administrative sanction functions to identify management and administrative deficiencies
that may create conditions for fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. The audits function provides internal agency
audit, insurance audit, contract audit, and information systems audit services. Internal agency audits review and evaluate all facets of agency operations, including financial statements. Insurance audits review the operations of health and
life insurance carriers, health care providers, and insurance
subscribers. Contract audits provide professional advice to
agency contracting officials on accounting and financial matters regarding the negotiation, award, administration, repricing, and settlement of contracts. Information systems audits
review both general controls and application controls for the
agency’s systems and programs. The investigative function
provides for the detection and investigation of improper and
illegal activities involving programs, personnel, and operations. Administrative sanctions debar from participation in
the health insurance program those health care providers
whose conduct may pose a threat to the financial integrity
of the program itself or to the well-being of insurance program
enrollees.
During 2005, these Inspector General activities resulted in
positive financial impacts of approximately $122 million, 38
arrests, 43 indictments, 20 criminal convictions, and 2,279
administrative sanctions. In 2006, OIG anticipates positive
financial impacts of $135 million.
In 2007, the Office of the Inspector General will continue
to develop its prescription drug audit program, which includes
pharmacy benefit managers, that was established during FY
2005. It is estimated that $6 billion is paid annually for
prescription drug premiums by both the Federal Government
and employees combined. This represents approximately 26
percent of the total premiums for health benefit coverage
for Federal employees and annuitants. By performing these
audits, the Office of the Inspector General assists the Federal
Employees Health Benefits Program recover inappropriate expenses charged in previous years, negotiate more favorable
contracts, and positively affect the future costs and benefits
provided to program enrollees.

The Budget proposes to use the pension savings provided
to the Postal Service by the Postal Civil Service Retirement
System Funding Reform Act of 2003 (P.L. 108–18) that would
otherwise be held in escrow in 2006 and beyond, to put the
Postal Service on a path that fully funds its substantial retiree (annuitant) health benefits liabilities.
This new account would receive from the Postal Service:
1) payments for the accruing actuarial costs of Postal Service
contributions for post-retirement health benefits for its current employees; and 2) amortization payments necessary to
provide for the liquidation of the Postal Service’s unfunded
liability as of September 31, 2005, for post-retirement health
benefits (including both principle and interest). For the first
10 years, the amount of the payment made by the Postal
Service would be capped at the size of the pension savings
that would otherwise be held in escrow plus the amount the
Postal Service is currently paying for its annuitant health
benefit premiums. After 10 years, the Office of Personnel
Management would re-calculate the unfunded liability and
establish a new amortization schedule that would liquidate
any remaining unfunded liability over a period of 30 years.

As a result of this new health benefits financing system,
the Postal Service would cease to pay annual premium costs
for its post–1971 current annuitants directly to the Employees
and Retired Employees Health Benefits Fund. Instead, these
premium payments would be paid from amounts that the
Postal Service remits to this new fund. Payments for a proportion of the premium costs of Postal Service annuitants’ pre–
1971 service would continue to be paid by the General Fund
of the Treasury through the Government Payment for Annuitants, Employees Health Benefits account.

OPM’s Revolving Fund supports the President’s Management Agenda by fully or partially funding three E-Government projects: E-Clearance; E-Training; and Human Resources Integration. On a fee-for-service basis, the Enterprise
Human Resources Integration project provides Federal agencies with an electronic official personnel folder (eOPF) system,
as well as workforce analysis and other analytical tools. These
tools are designed to streamline and automate the electronic
exchange of standardized HR data and provide comprehensive
workforce analysis, forecasting, and reporting across the Executive Branch for the strategic management of human capital.
The Revolving Fund also provides financing on a reimbursable
basis for several other products and services to Federal agencies.
Talent services.—OPM provides Federal agencies with relevant, cost-effective human capital products and services on
a fee-for-service basis. The Center for Talent Services’ (CTS’s)
products and services are designed to help Federal agencies:
1) transform the management of Federal human capital; 2)
accomplish their missions, by having the right person in the
right job at the right time; and 3) successfully implement
effective personnel systems. Examples of CTS’s products and
services include a Federal job website called USAJOBS, a
range of human resources consulting services, a nationwide
testing service for applicants of the U.S. Armed Services, employee competency assessments, and surveys on organizational culture and climate.
Investigations.—OPM conducts more than 90 percent of the
Federal Government’s background investigations concerning
Federal employees, contractors, and military members for various Federal agencies. Investigations are a critical step in
the Federal hiring processes, and can affect hiring or removal
decisions based on the individual’s fitness and suitability for
employment. Based on information gathered in background
investigations, Federal agencies also issue security clearances
and place individuals in positions involving national security
or the public trust where job duties are most sensitive to
the employing agency.
In early 2005, OPM accepted transfer of the Personnel Security Investigations (PSI) program of the Department of Defense, Defense Security Service (DSS). Through this transfer
of function, OPM also accepted the transfer of nearly 1,600
personnel and related space, equipment, and services. The
transfer of the PSI program to OPM consolidated the reSfmt 3616

sources that conduct the vast majority of background investigations for the entire Federal government.
OPM took an aggressive approach to improve investigation
case timeliness by increasing investigative capacity during
2005. This approach included establishing contracts with new
private-sector companies to increase capacity to meet the national demand for investigations; maintaining continuous liaison with national record repositories and state and local law
enforcement entities to expedite the receipt of record information; and training about 1,600 former DSS staff in OPM investigative processes.
In coming months, OPM will work together with the Office
of Management and Budget and other stakeholders to meet
various requirements concerning the investigative and security clearance programs that were outlined by the Intelligence
Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA). Some
of the IRTPA requirements include: 1) ensuring reciprocity
of security clearances and access determinations; 2) creating
a database on security clearances; and 3) evaluating the use
of available technology in clearance investigations and adjudication. Also, a reduction in length of personnel security
clearance process is mandated. For instance, the IRTPA requires that not later than December 17, 2006, each authorized
adjudicative agency shall make a determination on at least
80 percent of all applicants for personnel security clearances
within an average of 120 days (90 days to complete the investigation and 30 days to complete the adjudication) of receiving
the security clearance application. Beginning December 2009,
adjudicative agencies must make determinations on at least
90 percent of all applicants for personnel security clearances
within 60 days (40 days to complete the investigation and

This fund: 1) pays annuities to retired employees or their
survivors; 2) makes refunds to separated employees for
amounts withheld and to beneficiaries of employees who died
before retirement or before annuities equaled the amount
withheld; and 3) pays expenses of the Office of Personnel
Management for administering the program.
The fund covers two Federal civilian retirement systems:
the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) and the Federal
Employees’ Retirement System (FERS).
CSRS is basically a defined benefit plan, covering Federal
employees hired prior to 1984. CSRS participants do not participate in the Social Security system. FERS is a three-tiered
pension program that uses Social Security as a base, provides
an additional basic benefit, and includes a thrift savings plan.
FERS covers employees hired after 1983 and formerly CSRScovered employees who elected to join FERS.
The Budget includes funding for legislation which would
correct benefit inequities, simplify program administration,
and reduce improper payments. The legislation for this proposed Federal Retirement Improvements Act of 2006 will be
transmitted separately. OPM will also continue working with
the Department of the Treasury to submit legislation to
amend the Right to Financial Privacy Act in order to reduce
overpayments. The Budget also proposes that the United
States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) will fund the full
cost for retirement benefits for PTO’s employees covered
under the Civil Service Retirement System.

Financing.—The funds are financed by: 1) withholdings
from active employees and annuitants; 2) agency contributions
for active employees; 3) Government contributions for annuitants appropriated to OPM; and 4) contributions made by
the United States Postal Service in accordance with the provisions of Public Law 101–508 and Public Law 103–66.
Operating results.—Funds made available to carriers but
not used to pay claims in the current period are carried forward as special reserves for use in subsequent periods.
OPM maintains a contingency reserve, funded by employee
and Government contributions, that may be used to defray
future cost increases or provide increased benefits. OPM
makes payments to carriers from this reserve whenever carrier-held reserves fall below levels prescribed by OPM regulations or when carriers can demonstrate good cause such as
unexpected claims experience or variations from expected
community rates.

This display combines the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) fund and the Retired Employees Health Benefits
(REHB) fund.
The FEHB fund provides for the cost of health benefits
for: 1) active employees; 2) employees who retired after June
1960, or their survivors; 3) those annuitants transferred from
the REHB program as authorized by Public Law 93–246; and
4) the related expenses of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) in administering the program.
The REHB fund, created by the Retired Federal Employees
Health Benefits Act of 1960, provides for: 1) the cost of health
benefits for retired employees and survivors who enroll in
a Government-sponsored uniform health benefits plan; 2) the
contribution to retired employees and survivors who retain
or purchase private health insurance; and 3) expenses of OPM
in administering the program.
Budget program.—The balance of the FEHB fund is available for payments without fiscal year limitation. Numbers
of participants at the end of each fiscal year are as follows:

cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with BUDGET PAG

The Budget reflects savings from a proposed technical
change to the FEHB statute that will be transmitted separately. The Budget also proposes that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) will fund the accruing costs
associated with post-retirement health benefits for PTO’s employees.
