Basic Requirement: In accordance with Presidential intent (as contained in Executive Order 11935) and congressional intent (as contained in the Treasury, Postal Service, and General Government Appropriations Act), initial appointments to positions in the Federal Aviation Service made after April 30, 1998 will be restricted to United States citizens and nationals (residents of American Samoa and Guam) unless, as determined by the selecting official, there are an insufficient number of well-qualified applicants; or, for a brief period, in an emergency.

Through the appropriations act cited above, Congress has prohibited most agencies, including FAA, from using appropriated funds to employ noncitizens within the continental United States. Certain groups of noncitizens, however, are not included in this ban. Because these exceptions are subject to change, selecting officials wishing to consider noncitizens must consult with their human resource management office before proceeding.
