Applicability.

§ 351.301 Applicability. (a) This subpart is applicable when the work of one or more employees is moved from one competitive area to another as a transfer of function regardless of whether or not the movement is made under authority of a statute, Executive order, reorganization plan, or other authority. (b) In a transfer of function, the function must cease in the losing competitive area and continue in an identical form in the gaining competitive area ( i.e., in the gaining competitive area, the function continues to be carried out by competing employees rather than by noncompeting employees).
