In a letter dated 29 February 1996, The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued instructions to agencies regarding the reopening of examinations for preference eligibles.
The letter states that the OPM will no longer maintain the listing. It is the responsibility of the Agency filling the vacancy to ensure that preference eligibles are given the means and opportunity to be advised of positions for which they may apply.
PROCEDURES FOR FILING
Which positions may I reopen?
