§ 930.201
This subpart applies to individuals appointed under 5 U.S.C. 3105 for proceedings required to be conducted in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 556 and 557 and to administrative law judge positions.
Administrative law judge positions are in the competitive service. Except as otherwise stated in this subpart, the rules and regulations applicable to positions in the competitive service apply to administrative law judge positions.
The title “administrative law judge” is the official title for an administrative law judge position. Each agency must use only this title for personnel, budget, and fiscal purposes.
The Director of OPM, or designee, shall prescribe the examination methodology in the design of each administrative law judge examination.
OPM does not hire administrative law judges for other agencies but has the authority to:
Recruit and examine applicants for administrative law judge positions, including developing and administering the administrative law judge examinations under 5 U.S.C. 3301, 3304, 1104(a), and 1302, and Executive Order 10577, as amended, except OPM is not required to use the examination scoring process in 5 CFR 337.101(a);
Assure that decisions concerning the appointment, pay, and tenure of administrative law judges in Federal agencies are consistent with applicable laws and regulations;
Establish classification and qualification standards for administrative law judge positions;
Approve noncompetitive personnel actions for administrative law judges, including but not limited to promotions, transfers, reinstatements, restorations, and reassignments;
Approve personnel actions related to pay for administrative law judges under § 930.205(c), (f)(2), (g), and (j);
Approve an intra-agency detail or assignment of an administrative law judge to a non-administrative law judge position that lasts more than 120 days or when an administrative law judge cumulates a total of more than 120 days for more than one detail or assignment within the preceding 12 months;
Arrange the temporary detail (loan) of an administrative law judge from one agency to another under the provisions of the administrative law judge loan program in § 930.208;
Arrange temporary reemployment of retired administrative law judges to meet changing agency workloads under the provisions of the Senior Administrative Law Judge Program in § 930.209;
Maintain and administer the administrative law judge priority referral program under § 930.210(c);
Promulgate regulations for purposes of sections 3105, 3344, 4301(2)(D) and 5372 of title 5, U.S.C.; and
Ensure the independence of the administrative law judge.
An agency employing administrative law judges under 5 U.S.C. 3105 has:
The authority to appoint as many administrative law judges as necessary for proceedings conducted under 5 U.S.C. 556 and 557;
The authority to assign an administrative law judge to cases in rotation so far as is practicable;
The responsibility to ensure the independence of the administrative law judge; and
The responsibility to obtain OPM's approval before taking any of the personnel actions described in paragraphs (e)(4) through (8) of this section.
