Sec. 732.401  Reemployment eligibility of certain former Federal employees.


    (a) Request. A former employee who was terminated, or who resigned 
while charges were pending, from a department or agency of the 
Government under a statute or executive order authorizing termination in 
the interest of national security or on grounds relating to loyalty, and 
authorizing OPM to determine the eligibility for employment in another 
department or agency of the Government, may request OPM in writing to 
determine whether the individual is eligible for employment in another 
department or agency of the Government.
    (b) Action by OPM. (1) OPM shall determine, and will notify the 
former employee, after appropriate consideration of the case, including 
such investigation as it considers necessary, whether the individual may 
be employed in another department or agency of the Government.
    (2) If a former Federal employee found ineligible under this section 
has had an opportunity to comment on the reasons for the action, or has 
furnished them to OPM or to the former employing agency, OPM may cancel 
the reinstatement eligibility if the eligibility resulted from the last 
Federal employment and was obtained through fraud, and OPM may prescribe 
a period of debarment not to exceed 3 years.
