Subpart B—Senior Executive Service Status and Nonstatus Candidate Development Programs
§ 412.201 Purpose.
Section 3393 of title 5, United States Code, requires that career appointees to the SES be recruited either from all groups of qualified individuals within the civil service, or from all groups of qualified individuals whether or not within the civil service. This subpart sets forth regulations establishing two types of SES candidate development programs, “status” and “non-status.”
§ 412.202 “Status” programs.
Only employee serving under career appointments, or under career-type appointments as defined in §317.304(a)(2) of this chapter, may participate in “status” candidate development programs.
§ 412.203 “Non-status” programs.
(a) Eligibility. Candidates are from outside Government and/or from among employees serving on other than career or career-type appointments within the civil service.
(b) Requirements. (1) Candidates must be appointed using the Schedule B authority authorized by §213.3202(j) of this chapter. The appointment may not exceed or be extended beyond 3 years.
(2) Assignments must be to a full-time position created for developmental purposes connected with the SES candidate development program. Candidates serving under Schedule B appointment may not be used to fill an agency's regular positions on a continuing basis.
(3) Schedule B appointments must be made in the same manner as merit staffing requirements prescribed for the SES, except that each agency shall follow the principle of veteran preference as far as administratively feasible. Positions filled through this authority are excluded under §302.101(c)(6) of this chapter from the appointment procedures of part 302.
