    The restrictions in this subpart are intended to prevent excessively 
rapid promotions in competitive service General Schedule positions and 
to protect competitive principles. They provide a budgetary control on 
promotion rates and help assure that appointments are made from 
appropriate registers. These restrictions are in addition to the 
eligibility requirements for promotion in part 335 of this chapter.
