Sec. 213.3199  Temporary organizations.

    (a) Positions on the staffs of temporary boards and commissions 
which are established by law or Executive order for specified periods 
not to exceed 4 years to perform specific projects. A temporary board or 
commission originally established for less than 4 years and subsequently 
extended may continue to fill its staff positions under this authority 
as long as its total life, including extension(s), does not exceed 4 
years. No board or commission may use this authority for more than 4 
years to make appointments and position changes unless prior approval of 
the Office is obtained.
    (b) Positions on the staffs of temporary organizations within 
continuing agencies when all of the following conditions are met:
    (1) The temporary organization is established by an authority 
outside the agency, usually by law or Executive order;
    (2) The temporary organization is established for an initial period 
of 4 years or less and, if subsequently extended, its total life 
including extension(s) will not exceed 4 years;
    (3) The work to be performed by the temporary organization is 
outside the agency's continuing responsibilities; and
    (4) The positions filled under this authority are those for which 
other staffing resources or authorities are not available within the 
agency.

An agency may use this authority to fill positions in organizations 
which do not meet all of the above conditions or to make appointments 
and position changes in a single organization during a period longer 
than 4 years only with prior approval of the Office.
