The Secretary of Agriculture, acting through the Chief of the Forest Service (referred to in this section as the Secretary ), shall curtail employee relocations to significantly increase the period of time that each line officer works at a duty station. To the maximum extent practicable, the Secretary shall solicit applications for line officer positions in a manner that does not limit eligibility for the solicited position to only an applicant who is a current employee of the Forest Service.
The Secretary shall not reimburse an employee or otherwise pay for expenses relating to a change in duty station in an amount that exceeds $100,000. The Secretary shall develop a program to provide incentives for employees to gain experience and skills without relocating (commonly referred to as growing in place ).
