    Except as otherwise provided by this chapter, each agency shall 
place each position under its jurisdiction in its appropriate class and 
grade in conformance with standards published by the Office of Personnel 
Management or, if no published standards apply directly, consistently 
with published standards. When facts warrant, an agency may change a 
position which it has placed in a class or grade under this section from 
that class or grade to another class or grade. Subject to subchapter VI 
of chapter 53 of this title, these actions of an agency are the basis 
for pay and personnel transactions until changed by certificate of the 
Office.
