Sec. 339.302  Authority to offer examinations.

    An agency may, at its option, offer a medical examination (including 
a psychiatric evaluation) in any situation where the agency needs 
additional medical documentation to make an informed management 
decision. This may include situations where an individual requests for 
medical reasons a change in duty status, assignment, working conditions, 
or any other benefit or special treatment (including reasonable 
accommodation or reemployment on the basis of full or partial recovery 
from a medical condition) or where the individual has a performance or 
conduct problem which may require agency action. Reasons for offering an 
examination must be documented. An offer of an examination shall be 
carried out and used in accordance with 29 CFR 1613.706.
