There was such grief and consternation over the new Schedule F a while back, I was glad to see this Presidential Order, copied below in part:
Sec. 2. Revocation of Schedule F.
(a) The creation of a newSchedule F excepted service category in Executive Order13957 of October 21, 2020 (Creating Schedule F in theExcepted Service), not only was unnecessary to the conditions of good administration, but also undermined the foundations of the civil service and its merit system principles, which were essential to the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act of 1883’s repudiation of the spoils system. Accordingly, to enhance the efficiency of the civil service and to promote good administration and systematic application of merit system principles, Executive Order13957 is hereby revoked.. [Emphasis Supplied]
(b) The heads of all executive departments and agencies(agencies) shall, consistent with law, immediately suspend, revise, or rescind proposed actions, decisions, petitions, rules, regulations or other guidance pursuant to, or to effectuate, Executive Order 13957. The Director of the Officeof Personnel Management (OPM) shall immediately cease processing or granting any petitions that seek to convert positions to Schedule F or to create new positions in Schedule F.
