DoD has said it will revise rules and implementing guidance covering its national security personnel system in light of the recently approved 2008 DoD authorization law (PL 110-181). A summary for senior leaders of the department says that the portions of the NSPS regulations covering adverse actions, appeals and labor-management relations—which have never been implemented, largely due to a lawsuit—"are immediately void and will be removed from the regulations when they are revised. The department will continue operating under the government-wide authorities governing adverse actions, appeals and labor-management relations." Also "immediately void," it said, are the "workforce shaping" provisions of the NSPS regulations, which most notably sought to elevate performance over tenure as a tie-breaker in deciding who stays or goes in RIF situations.
