The agencies, on request of the DCOP, shall furnish information for and cooperate in the preparation of the standards.

(a)Define the various classes of positions in terms of duties, responsibilities, and qualification requirements;

 

(b)Establish the official class titles; and

 

(c)Set forth the grades in which the classes have been placed by the DCOP.

 

1102.4The DCOP, after consulting with the agencies to the extent necessary, shall revise, supplement, or abolish such special guides or standards or prepare new standards, so that, as nearly as may be practicable, positions existing at any given time will be covered by current published standards.

 

1102.5The official class titles established under paragraph 1102.3(b) of this section shall be used for personnel, budget, and fiscal purposes.
