Who is responsible for oversight and management of the Commerce Alternative Personnel System?
Oversight and evaluation of the CAPS is the responsibility of the Office of Personnel Management. The CAPS Management Board (CMB) manages the project at the Department level. Each major operating unit in the CAPS (e.g., OS, BEA, OAR, NMFS, and NESDIS) has its own Operating Personnel Management Board (OPMB) that manages and oversees internal operations. The DMB and OPMBs are collectively responsible for such activities as project evaluation, approving changes to the project, establishing project policies and operating procedures, delegating project authorities, approving exceptions to established policies or procedures, and training managers.
