Sec. 339.102  Purpose and effect.

    (a) This part defines the circumstances under which medical 
documentation may be acquired and examinations and evaluations conducted 
to determine the nature of a medical condition which may affect safe and 
efficient performance.
    (b) Personnel decisions based wholly or in part on the review of 
medical documentation and the results of medical examinations and 
evaluations shall be made in accordance with appropriate parts of this 
title.
    (c) Failure to meet a properly established medical standard or 
physical requirement under this part means that the individual is not 
qualified for the position unless a waiver or reasonable accommodation 
is indicated, as described in Secs. 339.103 and 339.204. An employee's 
refusal to be examined in accordance with a proper agency order 
authorized under this part is grounds for appropriate disciplinary or 
adverse action.
