Sec.  7.0  Who are employees.



    As used in this part, the term Government employee means any officer 

or employee, civilian or military, except such part-time employees or 

part-time consultants as may be excluded therefrom by a determination 

made in writing by the head of the employee's office or constituent 

organization, pursuant to an exemption approved by the Commissioner of 

Patents that to include him or them would be impracticable or 

inequitable, given the reasons therefor. A person shall not be 

considered to be a part-time employee or part-time consultant for this 

purpose unless the terms of his employment contemplate that he shall 

work for less than the minimum number of hours per day, or less than a 

minimum number of days per week, or less than the minimum

number of weeks per year, regularly required of full-time employees of 

his class.
