    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.
