The United States District Court for the District of

Office of Personnel Management (OPM) regulations pertaining
to reductions in force, performance management, and the
applicability of the Fair Labor Standards Act to Federal
employees.   These regulations were published at 48 FR

1-1199, January 1, 1984 edition. The Court found that
Congress in H.J. Res. 413 had barred these regulations for
fiscal year 1984. Judge Barrington Parker has directed the
publication of a special Supplement to Title 5 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR) which contains the regulatins
published in the January 1, 1983 edition of Title 5 which
remain in effect by virtue of H.J. Res. 413 and Judge
Parker's orders. He also directed that a letter of
explanation accompany the Supplement.

Devine, No. 84-5009 (D.C. Cir.).
The enjoined regulations were published in the January 1,
1984 revision of Title 5 of the CFR with an editorial note
stating that the regulations were currently in
litigation. Judge Parker in the case of National
Federation of Federal Employees v. Devine, et al. C.A. No.
84-1109 (D.D.C.) May 30, 1984 ordered the publication of
this Supplement which contains the regulations which are in
