Competitive Levels

Whenever competitive areas are established, competitive levels must be
established. This appendix provides the competitive levels within the
Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) and identifies
the associated competitive level codes (CLC's). These CLC's are
applicable to the entire Bureau, regardless of the competitive area
involved, and covers all positions in the General Schedule (GS/GM) at
grades 1 through 15. They do not cover positions in the Senior Executive
Service (SES).

Only the CLC's in the attached listing may be used. Changes, additions
to, or deletions from the CLC structure will be made when necessary*.*
No changes, however, will be made following the announcement of a
Reduction-in-Force covered by these competitive levels.

TIGTA CLC's consist of four numeric characters that define the
competitive levels of positions in terms of significant differences in
duties (including supervisory and managerial) and in qualifications
required, and in terms of other elements that distinguish positions that
belong to the same occupational series.
