Sec. 351.404  Retention register.

    (a) When a competing employee is to be released from a competitive 
level under this part, the agency shall establish a separate retention 
register for that competitive level. The retention register is prepared 
from the current retention records of employees. Upon displacing another 
employee under this part, an employee retains the same status and tenure 
in the new position. Except for an employee on military duty with a 
restoration right, the agency shall enter on the retention register, in 
the order of retention standing, the name of each competing employee who 
is:
    (1) In the competitive level;
    (2) Temporarily promoted from the competitive level by temporary or 
term promotion; or
    (3) Detailed from the competitive level under 5 U.S.C. 3341 or other 
appropriate authority.
    (b)(1) The name of each employee serving under a time limited 
appointment or promotion to a position in a competitive level shall be 
entered on a list apart from the retention register for that competitive 
level, along with the expiration date of the action.
    (2) The agency shall list, at the bottom of the list prepared under 
paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the name of each employee in the 
competitive level with a written decision of removal under part 432 or 
752 of this chapter.
