When a mission area/agency HR office receives updated information regarding the status of an employee, he or she must e-mail and/or fax the information to the Office of Human Resources Management (OHRM). The HR contact information needs to be received by OHRM within two business days of receipt of the surplus letter issued. OHRM will have three business days to post the HR contact information on the CTAP web site.
Mission area/agency HR staff needs to check the CTAP web site continuously, to ensure information is current and accurate. OHRM will ensure that the HR contact information is implemented, updated, and maintained on the OHRM web site.
