    The Office of Personnel Management may establish further guidance 
and instructions for the planning, preparation, conduct, and review of 
reductions in force. 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.
