House Committee Votes to Overhaul, or Eliminate NSPS
On June 16, the House Armed Services Committee passed legislation to eliminate, or overhaul the National Security Personnel Syste, (NSPS). Under the legislation, DOD employees currently under NSPS could become GS employees again.
On June 24, the Administration indicated that it opposed the language to abolish NSPS.
FPA is concerned that those federal physicians who have been converted to NSPS and who have lost their physician special pay might end up losing their special pay forever if converted back to GS employees.. The FPA has requested a meeting with Committee staff to make them aware of this concern.

H.R. 2990 would also make it easier for federal retirees to work part-time, and move federal employees in Alaska and Hawaii from cost-of-living adjustments to locality pay. The House plans to include the provisions of H.R. 2990 on the 2010 Defense Authorization Bill.
