Summary:

The Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is participating in a personnel demonstration project designed to enhance the agency's ability to recruit and retain highly qualified personnel. GAO compared the personnel management authorities available under the demonstration project with those available to NIST under other personnel laws and rules, particularly the Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act of 1990. While a number of authorities used by NIST under the demonstration project are already available under other personnel rules, the demonstration project does provide NIST with special authorities in such areas as pay banding and pay-for-performance.
