Section 207 of the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993 ( 16 U.S.C. 1726 ) is amended to read as follows: In this section— the terms land management agency and time-limited appointment have the meanings given those terms in section 9601 of title 5, United States Code; and the term qualified Corpsmember means a Corpsmember who is certified by a corresponding participating entity as having successfully completed 640 hours of service with a 21CSC organization. Subject to paragraph

(2)and subsection (c), a qualified Corpsmember shall be eligible for appointment in the competitive service in the same manner as a Peace Corps volunteer as prescribed in Executive Order 11103 ( 22 U.S.C. 2504 note; relating to Providing for the Appointment of Former Peace Corps Volunteers to the Civilian Career Services), as amended by Executive Order 12107 (44 Fed. Reg. 1055; relating to the Civil Service Commission and Labor-Management in the Federal Service). A qualified Corpsmember shall be eligible for an appointment under paragraph

(1)during the 2-year period beginning on the date on which the Corpsmember completes the 640 hours of service required under subsection (a)(2). For purposes of section 9602 of title 5, United States Code, a qualified Corpsmember hired by a participating entity that is a land management agency for a time-limited appointment shall be considered to be appointed initially under open, competitive examination. The 640 hours of service required under subsection (a)(2) may include service on 1 or more projects carried out by a Corpsmember with 1 or more participating entities during 1 or more terms of service in a 21CSC organization. To be eligible for noncompetitive hiring status under subsection (b), a Corpsmember shall perform the 640 hours of service required under subsection (a)(2)— carrying out a project on public or tribal land or water; or in service with, or on a project supported in whole or in part by, a participating entity. The head of each participating entity is encouraged, to the maximum extent practicable, to identify a sufficient number of 21CSC projects on public or tribal land or water that are aligned with the priorities of the participating entity so as to facilitate the attainment of the 640 hours of service by Corpsmembers required under subsection (a)(2). Participating entities shall coordinate with 21CSC organizations to identify the most effective and efficient method for tracking and certifying the 640 hours of service required under subsection (a)(2). The head of each participating entity, and any subdivision of a participating entity, shall coordinate with the head of each other participating entity, and subdivision of each other participating entity, to implement and issue guidance on eligibility for noncompetitive hiring status under subsection

(b)in a uniform manner to— improve the efficiency and use of noncompetitive hiring authority; and minimize inconsistency. .
