f. One DOT Rotational Assignment Program (RAP) is a career development strategy
offering employees lateral details into an established position or an unclassified set of
duties in a DOT Operating Administration (OA) other than his/her own OA. The program
supplements managers' current authority to detail employees within their respective OA.
If an OA is experiencing a shortage in a particular competency or is in need of extra
support for a specific product or project, this program may prove useful. It also promotes
professional development of DOT employees. Commandant (G-WTL), through a
Commandant Instruction, will promulgate policies and procedures for implementing One
DOT RAP throughout the Coast Guard, and will work with DOT to ensure Coast Guard
compliance with the goals of the program. The CGPC-cpm will serve as point of contact
for procedural questions e.g., soliciting an assignment, selecting participants, completing
forms, documenting assignments, etc. Further guidance on One DOT RAP is located on
6. POLICY. A detail is an effective method of dealing with short-term staffing requirements
and for improving employee utilization and professional development. Details of Coast
Guard employees will normally be made only when Coast Guard workforce needs cannot
otherwise be met, and should be confined to the shortest possible duration to avoid potential
compromise of merit system, position classification and pay principles. Details will be
accomplished in accordance with applicable negotiated agreement provisions.
