                Executive Order 13842 of July 10, 2018

                
Establishing an Exception to Competitive 
                Examining Rules for Appointment to Certain Positions in 
                the United States Marshals Service, Department of 
                Justice

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, including sections 3301 and 3302 of title 5, 
                United States Code, it is hereby ordered as follows:

                Section 1. Providing Appointment Authority. (a) Good 
                administration of the executive branch necessitates 
                that the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), a component of 
                the Department of Justice, have a hiring authority that 
                is currently available to other Federal law enforcement 
                agencies and that would, among other things, enable the 
                USMS to be competitive in recruiting high-quality 
                Deputy U.S. Marshals and Criminal Investigators, to 
                better hire and retain qualified individuals in certain 
                duty locations, and to more expeditiously fill vacant 
                positions consistent with law enforcement needs. 
                Accordingly, it is appropriate to place Deputy U.S. 
                Marshals and Criminal Investigators of the USMS in 
                Schedule B of the excepted service, as it is 
                impracticable to hold open competition or to apply 
                usual competitive examining procedures for those 
                positions related to Federal law enforcement.

                    (b) Appointments to the positions identified in 
                subsection (a) of this section:

(i) may not be made to positions of a confidential or policy-determining 
character or to positions in the Senior Executive Service; and

(ii) shall constitute Schedule B appointments that are:

  (A) excepted from the competitive service; and

  (B) subject to laws and regulations governing Schedule B appointments, 
including basic qualification standards established by the Director of the 
Office of Personnel Management (Director) for the applicable occupation and 
grade level.

                Sec. 2. Providing Conversion Authority. (a) Deputy U.S. 
                Marshals and Criminal Investigators of the USMS 
                appointed under Schedule B may, upon completion of 3 
                years of substantially continuous, fully satisfactory 
                service, be converted non-competitively to career 
                appointments, provided they meet the qualifications and 
                other requirements established by the Director.

                    (b) The Director shall prescribe such regulations 
                as may be necessary to implement this order.

                Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order 
                shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department, agency, or the 
head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

                    (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with 
                applicable law and subject to the availability of 
                appropriations.

[[Page 32754]]

                    (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, 
                create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, 
                enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
                the United States, its departments, agencies, or 
                entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any 
                other person.

                    July 10, 2018.
