BOP Program Statement 3906.24 § 2
EMPLOYEES REQUIRED TO PASS THE PHYSICAL ABILITY TEST
The physical ability test is administered to all individuals hired to fill positions in an institution.
This includes applicants who have received a conditional offer of employment. Non-law
enforcement employees in the Central Office, Human Resource Servicing Center (HRSC),
Designation Sentence Computation Center (DSCC), a Regional Office, or a Staff Training Center
who have not attended and completed the ICT II within three years prior to the entrance on duty
date to a field position are required to successfully complete the training. Only upon completion of
the ICT II program may the selection be finalized and the employee allowed to begin the relocation
process.
Before an applicant is extended a conditional offer of employment, the Human Resource
representative provides him/her a detailed written description of the physical ability test, as well as
a video, to preview. This video will be shown either immediately before or after the writing
sample video during pre-employment screening.
Before an employee from the Central or Regional Offices, HRSC, DSCC, or Training Center,
travels to the STA at Glynco, GA, he/she will be given a detailed written description of the physical
ability test and an opportunity to view a video of the test.

Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law.
