    (a) When a vacancy occurs or is about to occur in a postmaster 
position in a fourth-class post office and the position involves fewer 
than 7 daily hours of service, a representative of the U.S. Postal 
Service shall visit the locality and, after due public notice has been 
given, accept applications from interested persons. The representative 
shall establish a register based on the qualifications and suitability 
of each applicant and on his ability to provide proper facilities for 
transacting the business of the office. The U.S. Postal Service shall 
submit to OPM for postaudit one copy of the representative's report 
showing the qualifications of all applicants, the basis for ranking the 
eligibles, and the selection of an eligible from the register. The 
report shall be accompanied by the applications of all applicants. A 
person selected for appointment from such a register may be appointed 
after the date the postmaster position is determined to involve 7 or 
more daily hours of service only with the prior approval of OPM.
    (b) When making an appointment from a register established under 
paragraph (a) of this section, the appointing officer shall select an 
eligible in accordance with Secs. 332.404 through 332.407.
    (c) When OPM, after holding two examinations, is unable to secure a 
complete certificate of three eligibles for a postmaster position 
involving 7 or more daily hours of service, it may authorize the 
establishment of a register and selection therefrom in accordance
