Sec. 5441. Prescribed number; vacancies

-STATUTE-

In this chapter, the term ''prescribed number'' or ''number . . .

prescribed'' as applied to a grade, means the number of officers of

a described corps, designation, or other category that shall be

maintained in the grade concerned. Except as otherwise

specifically provided, the actual number of officers in a grade may

not exceed the prescribed number. Vacancies occur whenever, and to

the extent that, the actual number falls below the prescribed

number.

HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES

This section is derived from the distribution-in-grade provisions

of the Officers Personnel Act of 1947. It is inserted here to show

clearly what is meant by the ''authorized number'' of officers in a

grade as used in the distribution-in-grade sections of the Officer

Personnel Act. ''Prescribed number'' is substituted for

''authorized number'' because the latter, as used in other

provisions of law, means simply the maximum number of persons

authorized to be in a designated category. As used in the

distribution-in-grade provisions of the Officer Personnel Act the

term means not only the maximum number of officers that may be in a

particular grade, but also the number of officers that should be

maintained in that grade. It places not only a ceiling but a floor

on the number of officers for the grade concerned. This is

accomplished by establishing vacancies when the actual number of

officers in the grade concerned falls below the ''authorized'' or,

as used here, the ''prescribed'' number. Where there is a

prescribed number for a grade, an officer should, in the absence of

other controlling provisions of law, be promoted to that grade to

fill an existing vacancy, as of the date on which the vacancy

occurred. In this manner, at least constructively, the prescribed

number is maintained.

There is no source for the section because the Officer Personnel

Act did not attempt specifically to define ''authorized number'' in

this context. The meaning of the term is derived only from

understanding the effect given it throughout the Officer Personnel

Act and from the imperative requirements of sections 103, 203, and

303 of the act.
