                       CHAPTER 51--CLASSIFICATION
 
Sec. 5111. Revocation and restoration of authority to classify 
        positions
        
    (a) When the Office of Personnel Management finds that an agency is 
not placing positions in classes and grades in conformance with or 
consistently with published standards, it may revoke or suspend the 
authority granted to the agency by section 5107 of this title and 
require that prior approval of the Office be secured before an action 
placing a position in a class and grade becomes effective for payroll 
and other personnel purposes. The Office may limit the revocation or 
suspension to--
        (1) the departmental or field service, or any part thereof;
        (2) a geographic area;
        (3) an organization unit or group of organization units;
        (4) certain types of classification actions;
        (5) classes in particular occupational groups or grades; or
        (6) classes for which standards have not been published.

    (b) After revocation or suspension, the Office may restore the 
authority to the extent that it is satisfied that later actions placing 
positions in classes and grades will be in conformance with or 
consistent with published standards.

    In subsection (a), the words ``in whole or in part'' are omitted as 
unnecessary in view of the specific authority to limit the revocation or 
suspension. The words ``The Commission may limit the revocation or 
suspension to'' are substituted for ``Such revocations or suspensions 
may be limited, in the discretion of the Commission, to'' to eliminate 
redundancy.
    In subsection (b), the words ``After revocation or suspension'' are 
substituted for ``After all or part of the authority of the department 
has been revoked or suspended''. The words ``may restore'' are 
substituted for ``may at any time restore'' to eliminate redundancy.
    Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions applicable 
and the style of this title as outlined in the preface to the report.
