Title V of the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965 ( 42 U.S.C. 3191 et seq. ) (as amended by section 11(a)) is amended by adding at the end the following: The Secretary may appoint and fix the compensation of such temporary personnel as may be necessary to carry out this Act and to implement post-disaster economic recovery responsibilities, without regard to the provisions of subchapter I of chapter 33 of title 5, United States Code, governing appointments in competitive service and compensation of personnel.
Notwithstanding chapter 33 of title 5, United States Code, or any other provision of law relating to the examination, certification, and appointment of individuals in the competitive service, the Secretary may convert a temporary employee appointed under paragraph
(1)to a permanent appointment in the competitive service in the Economic Development Administration under merit promotion procedures if— the employee has served continuously in that appointment for not less than 2 years; and the performance of the employee has been at an acceptable level of performance throughout the period or periods referred to in subparagraph (A). As soon as practicable after the date of enactment of the INVEST in Our Communities Act , the Secretary shall establish a disaster team for the deployment of individuals to carry out post-disaster economic recovery efforts after a major disaster or emergency has been declared under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act ( 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. ) and an agency has been activated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. As soon as practicable after the date of enactment of the INVEST in Our Communities Act , the Secretary shall designate to serve on the disaster team, in conjunction with staff of the Department— employees of the Department who are not employees of the agency; and in consultation with the heads of other Federal agencies, employees of those agencies, as appropriate. In designating individuals under subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall ensure that the disaster team includes a sufficient number of— individuals who are capable of deploying rapidly and efficiently to respond to major disasters and emergencies; and in conjunction with permanent agency staff, highly trained individuals employed full-time to lead and manage the disaster team. The Secretary shall ensure that appropriate and ongoing training is provided to members of the disaster team designed under paragraph
(2)to ensure that the members are adequately trained with respect to the programs and policies of the agency relating to post-disaster economic recovery efforts. In carrying out this subsection, the Secretary may— use, with or without reimbursement, any service, equipment, personnel, or facility of any Federal agency with the explicit support of that agency, to the extent such use does not impair or conflict with the authority of the President or the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act ( 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. ) to direct Federal agencies in any major disaster or emergency declared under that Act; and provide members of the disaster team with travel expenses, including per diem in lieu of subsistence, at rates authorized for employees of agencies under subchapter I of chapter 57 of title 5, United States Code, relating to service as a member of the disaster team. .
