Are the Career Intern regulations exempt from 5 CFR 302 procedures?
The Executive order establishing the Career Intern Program does not exempt agencies from the Veterans Preference Act of 1944, as amended, or from applying part 302 procedures. Consequently, there is no legal basis for exempting these appointments from the procedures of 5 CFR 302. Agencies must establish specific rules and procedures for accepting, rating, and ranking applications in accordance with 5 CFR 302.
