Dear Mr. Hudson:
This refer to the recent discussipn in your office concerning
the application of 5 C. F. R. Part 713(!976) to excepted service
employeep in the legislative and judicial branches of the Federal
Government. The view has been expressed by the Chief 4,ppeals
officer of the Federal Imployees Appeals Authority (FF {A) that
the remedies provided by Part 7131do not apply to such excepted
service employee! As support for this position he cited 5 C. F. P.
§ 713. 201(b)(1)(ii);hich provides, in pertinent part, that Part 713/
applies
(ii) to those portions of the legislative and
judicial branches of the Federal C-overnment
and the government of the District of Columbia
having positions in the competitive service and
to the employees in those positions. (Fmphas
supplied.)
The statutory provision extending coverage of Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 (prohibiting employment d'scrimination)
to Federal employees is 42 U. q. C. § 200Ce-l6(a)0Fupp. II, 1P72},
which provides that:
All personnel actions affecting employees
or applT]c t for employent (except With regard
to aliens employed uts'ide the lirmits of the United
