NSC Alliance Submits Joint Response on Proposal to Reclassify Federal Workers

NSC Alliance has joined the Entomological Society of America and 18 other scientific societies in submitting a joint response to the White House Office of Personnel Management (OPM) proposed rule-making, “Improving Performance, Accountability and Responsiveness in the Civil Service,” also commonly known as “Schedule F.”
