Limited-Term Appointments

This applies to project-based jobs that will last three to nine months with no possibility of permanent appointment. Submit a special exemption request to DPA. Include

• a description of the project,
• a description of the end product,
• an explanation of why you can't use the surplus/SROA process, and
• a copy of the duty statement.

DPA may rarely grant extensions of LT appointments. If you need an extension, submit the request to DPA with

• an explanation of why you need to extend the project,
• how much extra time you'll need,
• analysis showing you've requested enough time to complete the project, and
• a description of the consequences of not extending the appointment.
