Sec. 300.102  Policy.

    This subpart is directed to implementation of the policy that 
competitive employment practices:
    (a) Be practical in character and as far as possible relate to 
matters that fairly test the relative capacity and fitness of candidates 
for the jobs to be filled;
    (b) Result in selection from among the best qualified candidates;
    (c) Be developed and used without discrimination because of race, 
color, religion, sex, age, national origin, partisan political 
affiliation or other nonmerit grounds; and
    (d) Insure to the candidate opportunity for appeal or administrative 
review, as appropriate.
