[Comments on OPM Reporting Requirement Regarding Agency Part-Time Employment Programs]

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined whether the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is required to submit to Congress an annual report on agency part-time programs pursuant to the Employees Part-Time Career Employment Act of 1978. The OPM General Counsel's office stated that the part-time reporting requirement was eliminated when the Congressional Reports Elimination Act of 1980 repealed the requirement for the general annual report. GAO held that it was not prepared to disagree with the OPM determination.
