                Executive Order 13678 of October 3, 2014

                
Conversion Authority for Criminal Investigators 
                (Special Agents) of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, 
                Firearms, and Explosives

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, including sections 3301 and 3302 of title 5, 
                United States Code, and section 301 of title 3, United 
                States Code, it is hereby ordered as follows:

                Section 1. Providing Conversion Authority. I find that 
                conditions of good administration (specifically, the 
                need to make the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, 
                and Explosives, Department of Justice (ATF), 
                competitive in recruiting high quality special agents 
                by giving the ATF an authority held by other Federal 
                law enforcement agencies) make necessary an exception 
                to the competitive examination rules for appointment to 
                certain positions in the Federal civil service.

                Criminal Investigators of the ATF, who have been 
                appointed under Schedule B, and who have completed 3 
                years of fully satisfactory service, may be converted 
                non-competitively to career appointments if they meet 
                qualifications and other requirements established by 
                the Director of the Office of Personnel Management.

                Sec. 2. Implementation. The Director of the Office of 
                Personnel Management shall prescribe such regulations 
                as may be necessary to implement this order.

                Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order 
                shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department, agency, or the 
head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

                    (b) This order is not intended to, and does not, 
                create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, 
                enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
                the United States, its departments, agencies, or 
                entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any 
                other person.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    October 3, 2014.
