Executive Order 5479—Amendment of Civil Service Rule X, Section 6, Transfers in the Nonapportioned Service

Section 6 of Civil Service Rule X governing transfers in the classified service is hereby amended by striking out the phrase "among the different offices of the same customs district," and substituting therefor the phrase "within the same branch of the field service of a department or office"; also by striking out the words "among post offices."

As amended section 6 is as follows:

In the nonapportioned service transfers within an office, within the same branch of the field service of a department or office, among the military staff departments, and from the War Department to any military staff department, may be made without certificate of the commission, subject to the limitations prescribed in section 5 of this rule, unless otherwise provided by regulation of the commission.
