months pending admission to the bar. No person shall be given more than 
one appointment under this paragraph. However, an appointment that was 
initially made for less than 14 months may be extended for not to

    (f) Chinese, Japanese, and Hindu interpreters.
    (g) Any nontemporary position the duties of which are part-time or 
intermittent in which the appointee will receive compensation during 
his or her service year that aggregates not more than 40 percent of the 
annual salary rate for the first step of grade GS-3. This limited 
compensation includes any premium pay such as for overtime, night, 
Sunday, or holiday work. It does not, however, include any mandatory 
within-grade salary increases to which the employee becomes entitled 
subsequent to appointment under this authority. Appointments under this 
authority may not be for temporary project employment.
    (h) Reserved.
    (i) Temporary and less-than-full time positions for which examining 
is impracticable. These are:
    (1) Positions in remote/isolated locations where examination is 
impracticable. A remote/isolated location is outside of the local 
commuting area of a population center from which an employee can 
reasonably be expected to travel on short notice under adverse weather 
and/or road conditions which are normal for the area. For this purpose, 
a population center is a town with housing, schools, health care, 
stores and other businesses in which the servicing examining office can 
schedule tests and/or reasonably expect to attract applicants. An 
individual appointed under this authority may not be employed in the 
same agency under a combination of this and any other appointment to 
positions involving related duties and requiring the same 
qualifications for more than 1,040 working hours in a service year. 
Temporary appointments under this authority may be extended in 1-year 
increments, with no limit on the number of such extensions, as an 
exception to the service limits in Sec. 213.104.
    (2) Positions for which a critical hiring needs exists. This 
includes both short-term positions and continuing positions that an 
agency must fill on an interim basis pending completion of competitive 
examining, clearances, or other procedures required for a longer 
appointment. Appointments under this authority may not exceed 30 days 
and may be extended up to an additional 30 days if continued employment 
is essential to the agency's operations. The appointments may not be 
used to extend the service limit of any other appointing authority. An 
agency may not employ the same individual under this authority for more 
than 60 days in any 12-month period.
    (3) Other positions for which OPM determines that examining is 
impracticable.
    (j) Positions filled by current or former Federal employees 
eligible for placement under special statutory provisions. Appointments 
under this authority are subject to the following conditions:
    (1) Eligible employees. (i) Persons previously employed as National 
Guard Technicians under 32 U.S.C. 709(a) who are entitled to placement 
under Sec. 353.110 of this chapter, or who are applying for or 
receiving an annuity under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 8337(h) or 5

membership in the National Guard or from holding the military grade 
required as a condition of their National Guard employment;
    (ii) Executive branch employees (other than employees of 
intelligence agencies) who are entitled to placement under Sec. 353.110 
but who are not eligible for reinstatement or noncompetitive

the intelligence agencies defined in 5 U.S.C. 2302(a)(2)(C)(ii) who are

Schedule C or under a statutory authority that specified the employee 
served at the discretion, will, or pleasure of the agency are not 
eligible for appointment under this authority.
    (3) Position to which appointed. Employees who are entitled to 
placement under Sec. 353.110 will be appointed to a position that OPM 
determines is equivalent in pay and grade to the one the individual 
left, unless the individual elects to be placed in a position of lower 
grade or pay. National Guard Technicians whose eligibility is based 
upon a disability may be appointed at the same grade, or equivalent, as 
their National Guard Technician position or at any lower grade for 
which they are available.
    (4) Conditions of appointment. (i) Individuals whose placement 
eligibility is based on an appointment without time limit will receive 
appointments without time limit under this authority. These appointees 
may be reassigned, promoted, or demoted to any position within the same 
agency for which they qualify.
    (ii) Individuals who are eligible for placement under Sec. 353.110 
based on a time-limited appointment will be given appointments for a 
time period equal to the unexpired portion of their previous 
appointment.
