  - (1) A career or career-conditional appointment; or
  - (2) A similar type of appointment (“career-type” appointment) in an excepted service position as determined by the Office. A career-type appointment is an appointment in the excepted service other than an appointment:

    - (ii) To a position authorized to be filled by noncareer executive assignment under [part 305](/cfr/5/part305.md) of this chapter;
    - (iii) To a position which meets the same criteria as a Schedule C position or a position authorized to be filled by non-career executive assignment; or
    - (iv) To a position where the incumbent is traditionally changed upon a change in Presidential Administrations.
- (b) **Senior Executive Service appointment.** An employee covered by this section shall be converted to a Senior Executive Service career appointment. The employee may be assigned to either a “general” or a “career reserved” position.
