    The purpose of this subpart is to establish principles to govern, as 
nearly as is administratively feasible and practical, the employment 
practices of the Federal Government generally, and of individual 
agencies, that affect the recruitment, measurement, ranking, and 
selection of individuals for initial appointment and competitive 
promotion in the competitive service or in positions in the government 
of the District of Columbia required to be filled in the same manner 
that positions in the competitive service are filled. For the purpose of 
this subpart, the term ``employment practices'' includes the development 
and use of examinations, qualification standards, tests, and other 
measurement instruments.
