What the agency says
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on August 3, 2026, and became effective on September 2, 2026. That rule revised OPM's reduction in force regulations and made related revisions to the Career Transition Assistance Plan (CTAP) regulations. An amendatory instruction in the rule inadvertently resulted in the removal of two paragraphs from the definition of "displaced". This document restores those paragraphs.
