Sec. 900.602  Applicability.

    (a) Sections 900.603-604 apply to those State and local governments 
that are required to operate merit personnel systems as a condition of 
eligibility for Federal assistance or participation in an 
intergovernmental program. Merit personnel systems are required for 
State and local personnel engaged in the administration of assistance 
and other intergovernmental programs, irrespective of the source of 
funds for their salaries, where Federal laws or regulations require the 
establishment and maintenance of such systems. A reasonable number of 
positions, however, may be exempted from merit personnel system 
coverage.
    (b) Section 900.605 applies to Federal agencies that operate Federal 
assistance or intergovernmental programs.
