Stat. 406.

-------------------------------

Subsection (a) is restated in the form of a definition.

Subsection (a)(1) is based on former section 638, which placed

positions in the executive branch of the Government generally in

the competitive service by the requirement that employment be

predicated on passing an examination or being exempted from

examination, and section 1 of the Act of Nov. 26, 1940, ch. 919,

title I, 54 Stat. 1211 (see table III), which authorized the

President, subject to certain exceptions, to place in the

classified civil service positions in the Executive departments,

independent establishments, and other agencies of the Government.

In that Act the word ''executive'' has been construed to modify

''departments'', ''independent establishments''; and ''other

agency''. This construction is supported by the language of the

Act of Jan. 16, 1883, and is embodied in Civil Service Rule I.

Acting under this statute, the President has placed all but a

comparatively few of the positions covered by the Act of Nov. 26,

1940, in the competitive service. The remainder are covered by the

exceptions contained in the Civil Service Rules and Regulations.

The authority of the President conferred by the Act of Nov. 26,

1940, has been superseded in part by exceptions created by statutes

enacted after that date. The effect of these exceptions and the

power conferred on the President by former section 633(2)8 (last

sentence) to make exceptions to the Civil Service Rules are

preserved by the words ''positions which are specifically excepted

from the competitive service by or under statute''.

In subsection (a)(1)(B), the words ''or to pass an examination''

are omitted as covered by the exclusion from the ''competitive

service''.

Subsection (a)(2) preserves the exception stated in former

section 638 modified to recognize the several statutory exceptions

to this exception that have been enacted. The language of former

section 638 relative to examination is codified in sections 3304(b)

and 3361. The reference to veterans' preference is omitted because

the statute referred to, R.S. Sec. 1754, was superseded by sections

3 and 21 of the Act of June 18, 1929, ch. 28, 46 Stat. 21. Section

3 of the Act of June 18, 1929, was superseded by the Act of June

27, 1944, ch. 287, 58 Stat. 387, as amended, which is carried into

this title. Rights preserved by section 18 of the Act of June 27,

1944, are further preserved by technical section 8. The exception

for laborers and workmen was superseded by the Act of Nov. 26,

1940.

Subsection (b) is added because of the provisions in section 3311

of title 39.

Subsection (c) is supplied for conformity inasmuch as the terms

are coextensive by definition.

Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions

applicable and the style of this title as outlined in the preface

to the report.

''An individual'' and ''and whose employment in such a position

began before October 1, 1996, and has been uninterrupted in such a

position since that date'' after ''Academy dairy,''.

1994 - Subsec. (f). Pub. L. 103-424 added subsec. (f).

1993 - Subsec. (c)(1)(E). Pub. L. 103-3 added subpar. (E).

1990 - Subsec. (c)(1). Pub. L. 101-508, Sec. 7202(b)(1), amended

par. (1) generally. Prior to amendment, par. (1) read as follows:

''laws (other than subchapter IV of chapter 53 of this title,

subchapter III of chapter 83 of this title to the extent provided

in section 8332(b)(16) of this title, and sections 5550 and 7204 of

this title) administered by the Office of Personnel Management;

or''.

Subsec. (c)(2). Pub. L. 101-508, Sec. 7202(b)(2), inserted

''(except to the extent specifically provided therein)'' after

''chapter 84''.

1986 - Subsec. (c)(1). Pub. L. 99-638 inserted ''of this title,

subchapter III of chapter 83 of this title to the extent provided

in section 8332(b)(16) of this title,''.

Subsec. (c)(2). Pub. L. 99-335 substituted ''chapter 81, chapter

84,'' for ''chapter 81''.

1979 - Subsec. (a)(1)(F). Pub. L. 96-54, Sec. 2(a)(5),

(c)(1) in same manner as amendment by section 703(c)(2) of Pub. L.

95-454. See 1978 Amendment note set out below.

1978 - Subsec. (c)(1). Pub. L. 95-454 substituted ''7204'' for

''7154'', and ''Office of Personnel Management'' for ''Civil

Service Commission''. Amendments by section 703(c)(1) and (c)(2) of

Pub. L. 95-454 appear to have been inadvertently reversed. Subsec.

(c)(1) purported to amend subsec. (c)(1) of this section, and

subsec. (c)(2) purported to amend section 3302(2) of this title.

However, the amendments specified by Pub. L. 95-454, Sec. 703(c)(1)

and (2), were impossible to execute literally. Thus, the amendment

by Pub. L. 95-454, Sec. 703(c)(2) was executed to this section, and

the amendment by section 703(c)(1) was executed to section 3302(2)

of this title as the probable intent of Congress.

1972 - Subsec. (c)(1). Pub. L. 92-392 substituted ''laws (other

than subchapter IV of chapter 53 and sections 5550 and 7154 of this
