GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. THIS MARADMIN APPLIES TO ALL ORGANIZATIONS AND POSITIONS CURRENTLY COVERED BY THE NATIONAL SECURITY PERSONNEL SYSTEM (NSPS) AND PROVIDES ACTIONS AND DEADLINES NECESSARY FOR TRANSITION OUT OF NSPS.  THIS MARADMIN REPLACES REF C AND PROVIDES CHANGES TO PREVIOUS GUIDANCE REGARDING TABLE OF ORGANIZATION AND EQUIPMENT (TO/E) CHANGE REQUESTS THAT ARE NOT PROCESSED PRIOR TO NSPS TRANSITION DATES.  SEE PARAGRAPH 6 BELOW.
2. REFERENCE A PROVIDED PREPARATION GUIDANCE FOR USMC COMMANDS TRANSITIONING FROM NSPS TO THE GENERAL SCHEDULE (GS).  REFERENCE B PROVIDED COMMANDS WITH SPECIFIC DATES ON WHICH THE TRANSITION WILL TAKE PLACE.  ACCORDINGLY, COMMANDS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE TRANSITION PREPARATIONS DESCRIBED AS FOLLOWS:
                  ACTION                              DUE DATE
 A.  IDENTIFY POSITIONS THAT WILL REQUIRE
     THE SUBMISSION OF A TABLE OF ORGANIZATION     IMMEDIATELY
     AND EQUIPMENT (TO/E) CHANGE REQUEST (TOECR)
     BASED ON A CHANGE TO THE GS GRADE AS
     REFLECTED ON THE CURRENT TO/E.
 B.  COMPLETE CLASSIFICATION OF TRANSITIONING      PHASE I - 8 APR  
     NSPS POSITIONS UNDER GS.  FOR                 PHASE II - 20 MAY
     CLASSIFICATION RESULTING IN GS GRADES

     SUBMIT TOECRS PER REFERENCE A. 
     TOECRS FOR NSPS TRANSITION MUST BE
     SUBMITTED SEPARATELY AND WILL ONLY
     INCLUDE CIVILIAN POSITIONS DIRECTLY
     RELATED TO NSPS TRANSITION.  THE TO/E
     WILL BE CORRECTED WHEN THE TOECR IS
     APPROVED.
3. MEETING THESE DATES IS CRITICAL TO ENSURING OUR EMPLOYEES ARE TRANSITIONED PROPERLY AND COMMANDS DO NOT INCUR ANY ADVERSE IMPACT.  TOTAL FORCE STRUCTURE DIVISION (TFSD) WILL ENSURE TOECRS SUBMITTED IN CONNECTION WITH NSPS TRANSITION RECEIVE PRIORITY BASED ON DATE RECEIVED.  IT IS IMPERATIVE TOECRS CONTAIN ALL REQUIRED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION PER REF A.  TOECRS WITH INCOMPLETE DOCUMENTATION WILL BE RETURNED WITHOUT ACTION.
4. THE DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY (DON) WILL PROVIDE A SPREADSHEET TO EACH COMMAND TO BE USED FOR EFFECTING THE TRANSITION.  THESE SPREADSHEETS MUST BE REVIEWED, UPDATED AND RETURNED FOR PROCESSING 30 DAYS PRIOR TO TRANSITION.  ADDITIONALLY, COMMANDS THAT USE THE HUMAN RESOURCES SERVICES CENTERS (HRSC) FOR CLASSIFYING POSITIONS, MUST SUBMIT POSITION DESCRIPTIONS (PD) IMMEDIATELY AS HRSCS WILL BE FULLY ENGAGED IN TRANSITION PROCESSING BEGINNING IN APRIL.
5. THERE ARE TWO PRIMARY TRANSITION RISK CATEGORIES THAT MUST BE HANDLED IMMEDIATELY.

  B. A POSITION IS CLASSIFIED AT A GS GRADE LOWER THAN THE GS GRADE LISTED ON APPROVED TO/E.
