All vacant craft duty assignments that are not to be reverted must first be posted within the craft for filling in accordance with the applicable collective bargaining agreement. Bidders or applicants must meet all requirements before being placed into the position. When posting does not result in successful bidders or applicants, the following may be used to fill the position:
- Reassignment.
- Change to lower level.
- Promotion.
- Reinstatement (see 233.33, Reinstatement and Reemployment).
- Transfer from another federal agency (see 233.34, Transfer From Another Federal Entity).
