Sec. 11.7  Termination of eligibility.

    (a) Candidates who have qualified but have not been appointed 
because of lack of vacancies will be dropped from the rank-order 
register 30 months after the date of the written examination: Provided, 
however, That reasonable time spent in civilian Government service 
abroad (to a maximum of 2 years such service), including service as a 
Peace Corps volunteer, in required active military service, or in 
required alternative service, subsequent to establishing eligibility for 
appointment will not be counted in the 30-month period.
    (b) The Chairman of the Board of Examiners may extend the 
eligibility period when such extension is, in his judgment, justified in 
the interests of the Service. The Chairman shall report the approved 
extensions to the Board of Examiners.
