This bill would let each federal agency that sits on the Defense Production Act Committee hire subject matter experts directly into competitive service jobs. These hires could skip the federal hiring procedures in sections 3309 through 3318 of title 5 of the U.S. Code, which cover how applicants are examined, ranked, and selected. The experts could be hired only to identify, request, review, or approve activities that may receive financial assistance under the Act.
