Recruitment and Selection Through Competitive Examination, and Employment in the Excepted Service (Rule of Many)

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is proposing regulations to implement changes authorized by the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2019 governing the selection of candidates from competitive lists of those who are eligible. These changes will provide expanded flexibility to agencies in the selection of candidates under delegated examining procedures. These changes also affect how agencies select candidates for excepted service appointments.
