Creating Schedule G in the Excepted Service

The order directs federal agencies to create a new Schedule G in the excepted service for noncareer positions of a policy-making or policy-advocating character. This is to address the gap in the current excepted service schedules, which do not have a category for these types of positions. Appointments to these positions, which are expected to change with Presidential transitions, will now be made under this new Schedule G. The Office of Personnel Management is tasked with implementing the necessary regulations for this order.
