-------------------------------

Subsection (a) is based on former section 633(3) (less last 10

words). The regulation-making power conferred by that section

covers the power conferred by former section 633(2)7 (last 17

words) which is, therefore, omitted. The requirement of notice is

preserved in section 3304. The words ''through its members or the

examiners'' are omitted as unnecessary in view of section 1104. The

authority of the President to prescribe rules, based on former

section 633(1) is carried into sections 2951, 3302, 3304(a),

3306(a), 3321, 7152, 7153, 7321, and 7322 of this title.

In subsections (b)-(d), the word ''rules'' is omitted as included

in ''regulations''.

The provisions of the Veterans' Preference Act of 1944 (former

sections 851-869) to which the regulation-making authority of

subsections (b) and (c) apply are carried into sections 2108,

3305(b), 3306(a)(2), 3308-3320, 3351, 3363, 3364, and 7701,

subchapter I of chapter 35, and subchapter II of chapter 75 of this

title. The first 76 words of former section 851 are added here to

preserve the general statement of policy in the light of which the

substantive provisions that formerly comprised the Veterans'

Preference Act of 1944 are to be interpreted. See Elder v.

Brannan, 241 U.S. 277, 286. In subsection (b), the words ''in the

competitive service in Executive agencies, permanent or temporary,

and in the government of the District of Columbia'', and in

subsection (c) the words ''in the excepted service in Executive

agencies, permanent or temporary, and in the government of the

District of Columbia'' are coextensive with and substituted for

''in civilian positions in all establishments, agencies, bureaus,

administrations, projects, and departments of the Government,

permanent or temporary, and in either (a) the classified civil

service; (b) the unclassified civil service; (c) any temporary or

emergency establishment, agency, bureau, administration, project,

and department created by Acts of Congress or Presidential

Executive order'', in view of the exclusion of positions in the

legislative and judicial branches by former section 869.

Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions

The authority of the President to prescribe rules is carried into

sections 2951, 3302, 3304(a), 3306(a), 3321, 7152, 7153, 7321, and

7322 of this title.

In paragraph (2), the words ''in respect to the execution of this

act'' are changed to ''concerning the execution of the provisions

of this title that relate to the administration of the competitive

service'' to avoid having to refer in the text to the sections of

this title into which the Civil Service Act, the act referred to,

is codified. These sections are: 1101, 1102, 1105, 1302(a), 1303,

1307, 1308(a)(1), 2102, 2951, 3302, 3303, 3304(a), (d), 3305(a),

words ''the provisions of this title that relate to the

administration of the competitive service'' will include some of

the sections derived from the Veterans' Preference Act of 1944

(former sections 851-869). They are based in part on former section

860 (codified in Sec. 1302(c)). The authorization in that section

to make and enforce regulations for the competitive service would

include the authority to investigate and report. The words ''and

other employees'' are substituted for ''and its own subordinates,

and those in the public service'' in view of the definition of

''employee'' in section 2105.

Standard changes are made to conform with the definition

applicable and the style of this title as outlined in the preface

to the report.

Sec. 1304. Loyalty investigations; reports; revolving fund

-STATUTE-

(a) The Office of Personnel Management shall conduct the

statutes -

(1) sections 272b, 281b(e), and 290a of title 22;

(2) section 1874(c) of title 42; and

(3) section 1203(e) of title 6, District of Columbia Code.

(b) When an investigation under subsection (a) of this section

develops data indicating that the loyalty of the individual being

investigated is questionable, the Office shall refer the matter to

the Federal Bureau of Investigation for a full field investigation,

a report of which shall be furnished to the Office for its

information and appropriate action.

(c) When the President considers it in the national interest, he

may have the investigations of a group or class, which are required

by subsection (a) of this section, made by the Federal Bureau of

Investigation rather than the Office.

(d) The investigation and report required by subsection (a) of

this section shall be made by the Federal Bureau of Investigation

rather than the Office for those specific positions which the

Secretary of State certifies are of a high degree of importance or

sensitivity.

(e)(1) A revolving fund is available, to the Office without

fiscal year limitation, for financing investigations, training, and

such other functions as the Office is authorized or required to

perform on a reimbursable basis, including personnel management

services performed at the request of individual agencies (which

would otherwise be the responsibility of such agencies), or at the

request of nonappropriated fund instrumentalities. However, the

functions which may be financed in any fiscal year by the fund are

restricted to those functions which are covered by the budget

estimates submitted to the Congress for that fiscal year. To the

maximum extent feasible, each individual activity shall be

conducted generally on an actual cost basis over a reasonable

period of time.

(2) The capital of the fund consists of the aggregate of -

(A) appropriations made to provide capital for the fund, which

appropriations are hereby authorized, and

(B) the sum of the fair and reasonable value of such supplies,

equipment, and other assets as the Office from time to time

transfers to the fund (including the amount of the unexpended

balances of appropriations or funds relating to activities the

financing of which is transferred to the fund) less the amount of

related liabilities, the amount of unpaid obligations, and the

value of accrued annual leave of employees, which are

attributable to the activities the financing of which is

transferred to the fund.

(3) The fund shall be credited with -

(A) advances and reimbursements from available funds of the

Office or other agencies, or from other sources, for those

services and supplies provided at rates estimated by the Office

as adequate to recover expenses of operation (including provision

for accrued annual leave of employees and depreciation of

equipment); and

(B) receipts from sales or exchanges of property, and payments

for loss of or damage to property, accounted for under the fund.

(4) Any unobligated and unexpended balances in the fund which the

Office determines to be in excess of amounts needed for activities

financed by the fund shall be deposited in the Treasury of the

United States as miscellaneous receipts.

(5) The Office shall prepare a business-type budget providing

full disclosure of the results of operations for each of the

functions performed by the Office and financed by the fund, and

such budget shall be transmitted to the Congress and considered, in

the manner prescribed by law for wholly owned Government

corporations.

(6) The Comptroller General of the United States shall, as a

result of his periodic reviews of the activities financed by the

fund, report and make such recommendations as he deems appropriate

to the Committee on Governmental Affairs of the Senate and the

Committee on Post Office and Civil Service of the House of

Representatives.

(f) An agency may use available appropriations to reimburse the

Office or the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the cost of

investigations, training, and functions performed for them under

this section, or to make advances toward their cost. These

advances and reimbursements shall be credited directly to the

applicable appropriations of the Office or the Federal Bureau of

Investigation.

(g) This section does not affect the responsibility of the

Federal Bureau of Investigation to investigate espionage, sabotage,

or subversive acts.

reference to section 10(b)(5)(B)(i) and (B)(ii) of the Act of

August 1, 1946 (60 Stat. 766) is omitted because of the amendment

of the Act of April 5, 1952, by the Act of July 31, 1953, ch. 283,

67 Stat. 240, and the reenactment of the provisions of the Act of

Commission as section 145 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (68

Stat. 942; 42 U.S.C. 2165). The references to section 1(2) of the

resolution of May 21, 1947 (61 Stat. 125), and section 110(c) of

the Act of April 3, 1948 (62 Stat. 137) are omitted as these Acts

were repealed by the Act of Aug. 26, 1954, ch. 937 Sec. 542(a) (1),

(2), and (4), 68 Stat. 861. Reference to section 510 of the Mutual

Security Act of 1951 (65 Stat. 381) is omitted because this section

was replaced by section 531 of the Mutual Security Act of 1954 (68

Stat. 859) and the latter was repealed by the Act of Sept. 4, 1961,

Pub. L. 87-195, Sec. 642(2), 75 Stat. 460.

In subsection (d), the references to section 10(b)(5)(B)(i) and

(ii) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1946, section 510 of the Mutual

Security Act of 1951, a majority of the members of the Atomic

on authority of section 8 of 1953 Reorg. Plan No. 7, 67 Stat. 641,

In subsection (e), the words ''There is established'' are omitted

as executed.

In subsection (g), the reference to statutes other than this
