If a position is available at multiple grades or pay levels, placement priority applies at the grade or pay level at which the position is ultimately filled.\n(b) An agency must not effect a permanent or time-limited competitive service appointment of another individual if there is an RPL placement priority candidate registered for the vacancy, unless the action is listed as an exception in § 330.211.\n(c) An agency must document that there are no RPL placement priority candidates for the vacancy when requesting a competitive certificate of eligibles under part 332 of this chapter. Similarly, an agency must offer the vacancy to any RPL placement priority candidate(s) before effecting an appointment under a noncompetitive appointing authority, such as under part 315 of this chapter.\n(d) Once an agency has ensured there are no RPL placement priority candidates for a particular vacancy and documents in writing an employment offer that is accepted by another individual, the agency may fulfill that employment offer to that individual.","path":["Title 5—Administrative Personnel","CHAPTER I—OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT","SUBCHAPTER B—CIVIL SERVICE REGULATIONS","PART 330—RECRUITMENT, SELECTION, AND PLACEMENT (GENERAL)","Subpart B—Reemployment Priority List (RPL)"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-5.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:23:53Z","sha256":"301e09b2a882ad4ea9a2a908475791323ebe9c11ba9d2ff605dc3a8bcb2db8a3","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/5-cfr-330.209","next":"us/5-cfr-330.211"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
