Sec. 332.311  Quarterly examinations.

    (a) A 10-point preference eligible is entitled to file an 
application at any time for an examination for any position for which 
OPM maintains a register, for which a register is about to be 
established, or for which a nontemporary appointment was made in the 
preceding three years. For the purposes of this paragraph OPM shall hold 
an examination not later than the quarterly period succeeding that in 
which the application is filed.
    (b) When there is no appropriate existing register, OPM may 
establish special registers containing the names of eligibles from the 
quarterly examinations authorized by paragraph (a) of this section, 
together with the names of eligibles described in Sec. 332.322, and use 
these registers for certification to fill appropriate vacancies.
