The administration is moving the rule. Official public (that's us!!) comment period is open.

Friends of BLS has resources making it super easy & efficient for you to:
1) submit evidence to the official record &
2) communicate to your federal reps

Schedule Policy/Career Rule is a Threat to Federal Statistical Agencies. Take Action Today. The Friends of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is very concerned about the potential impact on federal statistics of Schedule Policy/Career Rule, a proposed change to federal employment policy. This change, initially introduced at the end of the first Trump administration (then referred to as “Schedule F”) seeks to reclassify certain senior federal employees, making it easier to remove them from their positions. Doing this requires adoption of regulations (a “rule”) to govern its implementation. On April 23, 2025, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) opened a 30-day comment period on a rule to institute Schedule Policy/Career. OMB is accepting comments through May 23, 2025. We urge all Friends of BLS to utilize the templates below and take action to help preserve the integrity and objectivity of the federal statistical system by: Writing to your Representatives in Congress.
