    CHAPTER I--PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN 
                                SERVICES
 
PART 21--COMMISSIONED OFFICERS--Table of Contents
 
                         Subpart B--Appointment
 
Sec. 21.52  Waiver of entrance qualifications for original appointment in time of war or national emergency.

    If, in time of war or national emergency proclaimed by the 
President, the Secretary determines that there is need for commissioned 
personnel to meet the needs of the Service, other than persons eligible 
for examination for original appointment under the eligibility 
requirements prescribed in this subpart, he may prescribe standards of 
eligibility for examination for the original appointment of officers in 
the Reserve Corps without regard to such eligibility requirements. Such 
standards shall, however, authorize the examination only of candidates 
with specialized experience in administration or management or 
candidates with training or experience in fields relating to public 
health. The permanent grade of an officer who becomes eligible for 
examination for appointment pursuant to such standards and who becomes 
eligible for appointment after passage of an examination shall be 
limited to the junior assistant or the assistant grade, except that, if 
upon examination a candidate is found to be exceptionally qualified for 
the performance of highly specialized duties with the Service pursuant 
to Sec. 21.55, he may be recommended for appointment to any grade up to 
and including the director grade.
