AI Summary: This regulation establishes a new Schedule G in the excepted service for noncareer positions of a policy-making or policy-advocating character that are typically subject to change during a Presidential transition. The executive order amends Civil Service Rule VI to create this new schedule, which will apply to positions that require White House Office of Presidential Personnel approval and are expected to change with a new administration. Specifically, the regulation defines these positions as those of a policy-making or policy-advocating nature that are normally subject to change during a Presidential transition. The order directs the Office of Personnel Management to list these positions in Schedule G and provides guidelines for appointments, including that the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should consider candidates as suitable exponents of Presidential policies without taking into account their political affiliation. The regulation also clarifies that standard Civil Service Rules and Regulations will not apply to removals from positions in this new schedule, with the exception of some specific procedural considerations.
