Which CFR provision governs the procedures for suitability actions?

• A. 5 CFR 731 Subparts A and B
• B. 5 CFR 700 Subparts A and B
• C. 5 CFR 731 Subparts C and D
• D. 5 CFR 800 Subparts X and Y

Answer: (C)

The key idea is where the procedural rules for suitability actions are found in the CFR. The procedures for suitability actions are laid out in 5 CFR 731 Subparts C and D. These sections specify the step-by-step process agencies must follow when proposing, evaluating, and deciding on suitability concerns, including notice, opportunity to respond, evidence handling, timelines, and how to appeal. The other options don’t fit because Subparts A and B cover definitions and general standards, not the procedures; 5 CFR 700 covers broad personnel policies; and 5 CFR 800 Subparts X and Y relate to security investigations, not suitability actions.
