placed on the register in
order of such total rating,
starting with the highest.
Future appointments will
be made as vacancies oc
cur. For any vacancy, the
three highest available
names are certified and the
agency makes its selection
from these.
The life of the register is
normally two years from
the date of its establish
ment; but this period ma\
be reduced or extended.
In accordance with the
Merit System regulations,
all persons who receive an
appointment as a result of
these examinations will
serve a probationary per
iod of six months, after
which the appointment
may be made permanent if
