330.202—Application.

(a) (1) To be entered on the RPL, an eligible employee under § 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 § 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 § 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.
