However, there is no position in the normal line of progression that is one grade lower than the position being filled. Therefore, one (1) year of specialized experience at the second lower level is creditable for in-service (current or former) applicants. However, for outside applicants (ie. those without current or prior Federal competitive or excepted service), one (1) year of specialized experience equivalent to at least the next lower level is required. Please see statements below for qualification and time in grade requirements.
