EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULES OF PERMANENT POSITIONS Part II contains detailed schedules of permanent positions which are furnished to the Congress, pursuant to section 204 of the Budget and Accounting Act, 1921, as amended (31 U.S.C. 581), and waivers thereunder granted by the Appropriations Committees. These schedules relate to positions established for full-time employment without time limit, and to any others occupied for a year or more. Positions authorized at the end of the year are counted, whether filled or unfilled at that time; positions abolished during the year are not counted. The first section of the schedule, headed "Grades and ranges," contains a listing of the grades and salary ranges of authorized positions, and the total number in each grade, as illustrated below: Grades and their respective salary ranges are reflected in the stub column; the most commonly used grade series, the general schedule grades, is abbreviated "GS-..." The salary ranges shown are the normal ranges of the pay scales which became effective in October 1967 for most graded positions, and in December 1967 for executive level grades, under Public Law 90-206. These pay scales may be exceeded, however, when pay rates in private enterprise for one or more occupations in one or more areas or locations are substantially above the statutory rates (in the general schedule grades and certain other positions). In such cases, the Civil Service Commission has authority to permit a higher entrance level (not to exceed the maximum pay step prescribed by statute) and add a corresponding number of steps above the stated pay range. The second section of the schedule lists operating titles of the individual positions under each grade for which the minimum basic annual salary is equal to or greater than that for grade GS-16 ($20,982).
