    5 U.S.C. 3321 provides for ``a period of probation . . . before 
initial appointment as a supervisor or manager becomes final.'' It also 
says that a supervisor or manager ``who does not satisfactorily complete 
the probationary period . . . shall be returned to a position of no 
lower grade and pay than the position from which the individual was 
transferred, assigned or promoted.'' This subpart contains OPM 
regulations implementing those requirements of law.
