Sec. 17.212  Employment criteria.

    (a) A recipient may not make use of any employment test or other 
selection criterion that screens out or tends to screen out handicapped 
persons or any class of handicapped persons unless it can be 
demonstrated to the Director that (1) the test score or other selection 
criterion, as used by the recipient, is shown to be job-related for the 
position in question, and (2) alternative job-related tests or criteria 
that do not screen out or tend to screen out as many handicapped persons 
are not shown by the Director to be available.
    (b) A recipient shall select and administer tests concerning 
employment so as best to ensure that, when administered to an applicant 
or employee who has a handicap that impairs sensory, manual, or speaking 
skills the test results accurately reflect the applicant's or employee's 
job skills, aptitude, or whatever other factor the test purports to 
measure, rather than reflecting the applicant's or employee's impaired 
sensory, manual, or speaking skills (except where those skills are the 
factors that the test purports to measure).
    (c) All job qualifications must be shown to be directly related to 
the job in question.
