§ 158.102 Scope of authority.
(a) Authority. This part implements the Secretary's authority in 6 U.S.C. 658 and governs talent management involving the individuals described in § 158.103.

(c) Preservation of authority. Nothing in this part shall be deemed or construed to limit the Secretary's authority in 6 U.S.C. 658.
