First, we consider the effect of an appropriation provision that restricts pay for individuals appointed on a limited-time basis pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§ 209(f) and (g). Then, we examine two provisions in title 5 of the United States Code that also limit pay. The first is 5 U.S.C. § 3109, 1 You also asked GAO to perform audit work on the extent to which the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have used this authority and followed applicable guidance. See, GAO, Human Capital: HHS and EPA Can Improve Practices under Special Hiring Authorities, GAO-12-692 (Washington, D.C.: July 9, 2012).
