The Secretary of Defense shall carry out a pilot program to assess the feasibility and advisability of expanding the use of the authority in section 3326 of title 5, United States Code, to appoint retired members of the Armed Forces described in subsection
(b)of that section to positions in the Department of Defense described in subsection
(b)of this section. The positions in the Department described in this subsection are positions classified at or below GS–13 under the General Schedule under subchapter III of chapter 53 of title 5, United States Code, or an equivalent level under another wage system, in the competitive service— to which appointments are authorized using Direct Hire Authority or Expedited Hiring Authority; and that have been certified by the Secretary of the military department concerned as lacking sufficient numbers of potential applicants who are not retired members of the Armed Forces. The Secretary of a military department may not delegate the authority to make a certification described in paragraph (1)(B) to an individual in a grade lower than colonel, captain in the Navy, or an equivalent grade in the Space Force, or an individual with an equivalent civilian grade. The duration of the pilot program shall be three years. Not later than two years after the commencement of the pilot program, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report on the pilot program. The report shall include the following: A description of the pilot program, including the positions to which appointments are authorized to be made under the pilot program and the number of retired members appointed to each such position under the pilot program. Any other matters in connection with the pilot program that the Secretary considers appropriate.
