Sec. 5364. Remedial actions

    Under regulations prescribed by the Office of Personnel Management, 
the Office may require any agency--
        (1) to report to the Office information with respect to 
    vacancies (including impending vacancies);
        (2) to take such steps as may be appropriate to assure employees 
    receiving benefits under section 5362 or 5363 of this title have the 
    opportunity to obtain necessary qualifications for the selection to 
    positions which would minimize the need for the application of such 
    sections;
        (3) to establish a program under which employees receiving 
    benefits under section 5362 or 5363 of this title are given priority 
    in the consideration for or placement in positions which are equal 
    to their retained grade or pay; and
        (4) to place certain employees, notwithstanding the fact their 
    previous position was in a different agency, but only in 
    circumstances in which the Office determines the exercise of such 
    authority is necessary to carry out the purpose of this section.
