OPM Gets In On The Act

Yesterday, Elizabeth had a great post about OMB's newly-issued reporting requirements for the dispersal of ARRA funds, including some specific provisions about Recovery.gov. Today, OPM is getting in on the act, announcing an interagency forum to remind departments and agencies -- CHCOs in particular -- of the many flexibilities they have in hiring or requesting to hire new personnel to support the increased reporting and contracting workload that ARRA is sure to bring. It's good to see that, even with an acting head in place (free John Berry!), OPM is stepping up to make sure the stimulus is fully staffed.
