The Department of Defense and the Office of Personnel Management have issued proposed joint regulations revising the National Security Personnel System, one of DoD's human resources management systems. NSPS was originally authorized by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004 and amended by NDAA 2008. 
While Congress made significant changes to the underlying NSPS statute, the core features of NSPS remain essentially intact, including the pay banding and classification structure, compensation flexibilities, and pay for performance system.   
NSPS proposed regulation is posted on the Federal Register and will be open for public comment for the next 30 days. This regulation may be accessed on line at:   http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/index.html
