Land management agencies include:

• Bureau of Indian Affairs
• Bureau of Land Management
• Bureau of Reclamation
• U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Employees who’ve previously or are currently in temporary roles at land management agencies might be eligible for a permanent position across all government departments, not just within the agency where you worked.

You might be eligible if:

1. You are applying to an agency’s announcement accepting applications from outside its workforce.
2. You were appointed through competitive procedures.
3. You worked in a land management agency for over 24 months without a 2-year break.
4. You maintained a good performance record and left your last job for reasons other than misconduct.

What to provide

1. Your Personnel Actions (SF-50) documents proving you worked the required time without a 2-year break.
2. Proof of good performance, such as:
   1. Signed ratings by your supervisor.
   2. A supervisor's statement confirming your performance.
   3. An explanation if performance documents are unavailable, ensuring your performance was satisfactory.

Submit everything by the job announcement's closing date.
