Summary
When a Senate-confirmed executive officer dies, resigns, or can’t do the job, the first assistant must step in as the acting officer for a limited time under section 3346. The President alone can instead name another Senate-confirmed official to act, or pick an agency officer or employee to act if, in the 365 days before the vacancy, that person served at least 90 days in the agency and was paid at or above the GS‑15 minimum. All acting service is subject to the time limits in section 3346. A person cannot serve as the acting officer if, in the 365 days before the vacancy, they were not the first assistant or they were first assistant for less than 90 days and the President has nominated them for the permanent job. That rule does not apply if the person is the first assistant in a Senate‑confirmed position and the Senate already approved their appointment. The President may also let someone nominated for reappointment keep serving without a break until the Senate acts. The end of a term counts as being unable to perform the job.
