reemployed civil service annuitants to hold status as competing employees.
d. A local commuting area is a geographic area that usually includes any population center and
the surrounding communities in which people live and reasonably travel to and from work.
Coast Guard commuting areas are identified in enclosure (1).
6. PROCEDURES.
a. Standard Coast Guard Competitive Areas. Competitive areas within the Coast Guard shall
be as follows:
(1)
The maximum competitive area is all commands within a single commuting area.
(2)
For Coast Guard Headquarters and all Headquarters units in the Washington, D.C.
metropolitan area, the competitive area is the Washington, D.C. commuting area
which encompasses Washington, D.C., adjacent areas in Maryland, and Northern
Virginia, but excludes Baltimore, Maryland and its environs.
(3)
For all other locations outside the Washington, D.C. commuting area, each command
within a commuting area will form a separate competitive area. All units of any given
command (e.g., MLC units) within a single commuting area will form a single
competitive area. When a competitive area of less than ten employees is co-located
with other commands, the Coast Guard Personnel Command, Civilian Personnel
Management Division (CGPC-cpm), in consultation with the commands, shall
designate a larger competitive area for the employees.
b. Changes to Competitive Areas.
(1)
Co-located Commands. Upon agreement, separate commands that are co-located in a
single commuting area may form a single competitive area. Such changes shall be
immediately communicated in writing to CGPC-cpm.
(2)
Publication.
(a)
When establishing and changing competitive areas, they must be described in
and distributed through official Coast Guard media readily accessible to all
employees. A competitive area is not officially established or changed until
announced in such a manner. Official media include appropriate websites.
(b)
When notified by management, CGPC-cpm shall ensure competitive areas are
published whenever established or changed.
