               Subpart B_Reemployment Priority List (RPL)
 
Sec. 330.202  Application.

    (a)(1) To be entered on the RPL, an eligible employee under Sec. 
330.203 must complete an application prescribed by the employing agency 
and inform the agency of any significant changes in the information 
provided. This application must provide for the employee to specify the 
conditions under which he or she will accept employment, including 
grade, occupation, and minimum hours or work per week, in addition to 
positions at the same representative rate and type of work schedule 
(e.g., full-time, part-time, seasonal, intermittent, on-call, etc.) as 
the position from which the employee was or will be separated. 
Registration may take place as soon as a specific notice of separation 
under part 351 of this chapter, or a Certification of Expected 
Separation as provided in Sec. 351.807 of this chapter, has been 
issued. The employee must submit the application within 30 calendar days 
after the RIF separation date. An employee who fails to submit a timely 
application is not entitled to be placed on the RPL. If an agency has 
components scattered throughout a large commuting area, the agency may 
allow eligibles to indicate their availability only for certain sub-
areas within the commuting area. However, the agency cannot deny 
consideration throughout the entire commuting area if the eligible wants 
it.
    (2) An eligible employee under Sec. 330.204 must request 
reemployment within 30 calendar days after the date compensation ceases, 
except that when an appeal for continuation of compensation is filed, 
the 30-day period begins the day after resolution is reached. No 
specific format is required.
    (b) An agency must enroll an individual on the RPL no later than 10 
calendar days after receipt of an application or request.
    (c) Agencies should be prepared to assist employees, when requested, 
in identifying and listing on the reemployment priority list (RPL) 
application those positions within the agency for which the employee 
qualifies and is interested.
