ACTION:

Notice of revision.

SUMMARY:

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has revised Standard Form (SF) 39, Request For Referral Of Eligibles, and SF 39-A, Request and Justification for Selective Factors and Quality Ranking Factors, to update legal citations; remove the outdated reference to the Federal Personnel Manual; and to include the current citation of 5 CFR part 332. The SF 39 outlines instructions to be used by hiring officials to request a list of eligible applicants to fill a position. The SF 39-A, which is attached by hiring officials to the SF 39, identifies the selective and/or quality ranking factors that will be used to determine whether an applicant is qualified for a position. The revised forms are PDF fillable and are located on OPM's Web site at http://www.opm.gov/​forms/​html.sf.asp for agency use. These versions supersede all previous versions. Please destroy any versions you may have in stock.

DATES:

The revised form is effective August 26, 2011.
