COMDTINST 12300.7A
c. Prohibited Details.
(1) Detailing employees to a different position or to another geographic area immediately
after competitive appointment tends to compromise merit system principles.
Therefore, except for emergency details of 30 days or less, an employee may not be
detailed for at least 90 days after appointment from an Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) certificate of eligibles, or under a direct hire authority granted to
the Coast Guard by OPM.
(2) Since extended details may also conflict with merit system principles and the
principles of position classification and pay, details shall be extended in 120-day
increments up to a maximum total duration of:
(a) 1 year for details to unclassified duties, or the same, lower, or higher graded
positions, except to SES positions.
(b) 2 years for details to an organization undergoing a commercial activity study.
Details within or to organizational units not covered by the study are subject to
the 1-year limit, even though they may be in the same command or field activity.
(c) 240 days for all details of non-SES employees covered by this Instruction to SES
positions.
(3) Extensions beyond these limits listed above will require approval of CGPC-cpm.
9. DETAILS TO OTHER DOT OPERATING ADMINISTRATIONS.
a. All details of Coast Guard civilians covered by this Instruction to other DOT
administrations require the approval of the operating civilian personnel offices of both
organizations and shall be documented and executed in accordance with the requirements
set forth in paragraph 8 above. In addition, details to other operating administrations of
any length shall be recorded on a Notification of Personnel Action, Standard Form 50
(SF-50).
b. Except when there is specific statutory authority to do otherwise, details to other DOT
OA's must be reimbursable unless:
(1) The detail is to a position covered by the same appropriation that covers the position
from which detailed; or
(2) The detail involves a matter related to the loaning office's appropriation and will aid
in accomplishing the purpose for which appropriations are provided; or
