Completed

Regional focus

North America

Topics

Title 42 Sec 209 of the U.S. Code gives federal agencies the authority to appoint highly qualified scientists and engineers at a pay scale outside civil service laws in Title 5. The flexibility of the Title 42 hiring program allows federal agencies to compete with industry and academia to fill critical positions. The committee will review the past and current use of the Title 42 Authority by EPA's Office of Research and Development and recommend how EPA’s use of the Title 42 program could be improved in the future.
