Initial OPM review of agency regulations.

Submissions must be for agency-wide and/or Government-wide collections.

When a creditor agency has issued approved regulations covering the provisions specified in § 550.1104, the agency may issue any supplemental regulations or instructions, consistent with its approved regulations, which are necessary for solely internal operations, without prior OPM approval.
