(a) In addition to meeting the requirements of § 330.602(a)(1)(iv) and § 330.607(a), at the time it issues a specific RIF separation notice or notice of proposed removal for declining a directed reassignment or transfer of function outside of the local commuting area, an agency must give each of its eligible employees information in writing about the special selection priority available to them under the Interagency Career Transition Assistance Plan. Such information must contain guidance to the employee on how to apply for vacancies under the ICTAP, and what documentation is generally required as proof of eligibility.
(b) Agencies must take reasonable steps to ensure eligible employees are notified of all vacancies the agency is filling and what is required for them to be determined well-qualified for the vacancies.
(c) Each agency is required to advise, in writing, ICTAP candidates who apply for specific vacancies within its local commuting area of the results of their application, and whether or not they were found well-qualified. If they are not found well-qualified, such notice must include information on the results of an independent, second review conducted by the agency. If an applicant is found well-qualified, and another well-qualified surplus or displaced candidate is selected, the applicant must be so advised.
