To comment on the regulations, go to the Federal Rulemaking Portal at:

http://www.regulations.gov.

Once on that page, you will see a section for "Comment or Submission". In that section, enter the document number, which is NSPS-OPM-2008-0081. Then click "go.".

Next click on "Send a Comment or Submission" located just under the National Security Personnel System title

You will then be taken to the comment page where you will be asked to fill out your information and submit your comment.

There are two required fields on this form. One is for "Category" and has a drop-down menu with the following choices: "Agency," "Citizen," "Professional Organization," or "Union." You can choose to identify yourself however you like (most likely "Union" or "Citizen").

The other required field is "Organization." You can put "AFGE" in the field; you could put "Citizen" in the field; or even "Employee" it is up to you.

We have provided a few of the arguments on why NSPS is bad for DoD employees. Feel free to use them, or tell your own personal story.

Be sure to put in your comments that the agency is DoD, the document number NSPS- OPM-2008-0081 and the RIN is 3206-AL62.

After you have completed your comments or added an attachment, click on "Next Step" located at the bottom of the screen where you can preview your comments and print them. Then click on "Submit".

You should also encourage as many bargaining unit members, friends, family, etc. to send in comments, as well.

PLEASE RESPOND BY MONDAY JUNE 23, 2008. LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!
