                    TITLE 5--ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL
 
                CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
 
PART 339_MEDICAL QUALIFICATION DETERMINATIONS--Table of Contents
 
              Subpart B_Physical and Medical Qualifications
 
Sec. 339.201  Disqualification by OPM.


    Subject to subpart C of part 731 of this chapter, OPM may deny an 
applicant examination, deny an eligible appointment, and instruct an 
agency to remove an appointee by reason of physical or mental unfitness 
for the position for which he or she has applied, or to which he or she 
has been appointed. An OPM decision under this section is separate and 
distinct from a determination of disability under Sec. 831.502, 
844.103, 844.202, or subpart L of part 831 of this title, and does not 
necessarily entitle the employee to disability retirement under sections 
8337 or 8451 of title 5, United States Code.
