# §362.108. Program oversight.

- (a) The Director may establish caps on the number of Pathways Participants who may be appointed or converted in any Pathways Program within a specific agency or throughout the Federal Government.
- (b) The Director may establish such caps based on agency or Governmentwide use of the Pathways Programs, input from the Executive agencies, and consideration of the following:
  - (1) An agency's compliance with its Pathways Policy;
  - (2) Agency approach to entry-level hiring;
  - (3) Agency engagement in sound workforce planning to ensure that an adequate number of permanent positions will be available to which Pathways Participants who successfully complete their Programs can be converted;
  - (4) Agency record in using the Pathways Programs as a supplement to competitive examining, rather than as a substitute for it;
  - (5) Agency record of publicizing their positions in the Pathways Programs and recruiting and selecting from a broad array of sources; and
  - (6) **Any other information the Director deems relevant.**
- (c) In the event the Director determines that any caps would be appropriate, OPM will publish notice of such caps in a manner chosen by the Director.
