Sec. 351.205  Authority of OPM.

    The Office of Personnel Management may establish further guidance 
and instructions for the planning, preparation, conduct, and review of 
reductions in force through the Federal Personnel Manual system. OPM may 
examine an agency's preparations for reduction in force at any stage. 
When OPM finds that an agency's preparations are contrary to the express 
provisions or to the spirit and intent of these regulations or that they 
would result in violation of employee rights or equities, OPM may 
require appropriate corrective action.
