人事管理局最终规则取消联邦雇员晋升52周在级门槛 10月19日刊登、刊登后90天生效
华盛顿 — 美国人事管理局（OPM）取消联邦雇员晋升在级时间门槛的最终规则，10月16日以公众查阅形式提交《联邦公报》，定于10月19日正式刊登，刊登后90天生效。规则文号为 FR Doc. 2026-21319，档案号 OPM-2026-0067。
按新规，竞争性服务岗位的联邦雇员晋升到 GS-6 及以上级别，不再要求先在低一级岗位任职满52周（双梯级序列为低两级）。规则修订《联邦法规》第300、315、316、352、410等部分，基本按今年5月28日刊登的拟议稿通过；拟议稿60天评论期共收到75条意见，其中41条表示支持。
取消的只是时间门槛。申请人仍须满足人事管理局的职业资格标准及各机构针对具体岗位的附加要求，新规不赋予任何晋升权利，也不改变级内加薪、退伍军人优先等制度。各机构仍可在其书面功绩晋升计划下，设置与岗位相关的前置条件，包括一定的在职服务期、能力、培训或证书要求。
OPM Final Rule Ends 52-Week Time-in-Grade Requirement for Federal Promotions
Washington — A final rule by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) eliminating the time-in-grade requirement for federal promotions was filed for public inspection with the Federal Register on October 16, ahead of formal publication on October 19. The rule, FR Doc. 2026-21319 (Docket OPM-2026-0067), takes effect 90 days after publication.
Under the new rule, competitive-service employees promoted to GS-6 and above will no longer need to serve 52 weeks at the next lower grade (two grades lower in two-grade-interval series). The rule amends 5 CFR Parts 300, 315, 316, 352 and 410 and was adopted substantially as proposed on May 28; the 60-day comment period drew 75 comments, 41 of them supportive.
Only the waiting period is removed. Applicants must still meet OPM occupational qualification standards and any agency job-related requirements; the rule creates no entitlement to promotion and does not change within-grade pay increases or veterans' preference. Agencies may still set job-related prerequisites under their written merit promotion plans.
