Presidential Personnel should plan for tools such as Schedule F
What the document says“Identifying programmatic political workforce needs early and developing plans (for example, Schedule F).”
In its list of the Office of Presidential Personnel's responsibilities, the chapter includes identifying political workforce needs early and developing plans, giving Schedule F as its example. Schedule F is the subject of a separate proposal in chapter 3, which asks for the 2020 order creating it to be reinstated.
What the document actually says“Identifying programmatic political workforce needs early and developing plans (for example, Schedule F).”
Work out early what political staff are needed, and make plans, such as Schedule F.
One White House office picks people for government jobs. The chapter lists what that office should do. One item is planning ahead for tools like Schedule F. Schedule F would make some workers much easier to fire.
Creating Schedule G in the Excepted Service
2025-07-17 · 90 FR 34753
Executive Order 14317 creates Schedule G of the excepted service for noncareer positions of a policy-making or policy-advocating character, which is the kind of political workforce tool the passage has the Office of Presidential Personnel planning for, and the order's definition section ties the covered positions to those whose appointment requires the assent of that office. The fit breaks down in three places: the passage asks for a planning practice inside Presidential Personnel rather than a new schedule, Schedule G is a different schedule from the Schedule F the passage gives as its example, and the order's instructions on making Schedule G appointments run only to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
An order of 2025 creates a new job class, Schedule G. It covers policy jobs that are not career posts, the kind of tool the passage has in mind. But the passage asked for planning inside the staffing office, not a new class. Schedule G is not Schedule F, and the order's steps run only to one agency.
