A Recruitment Incentive May Be Authorized for a newly selected employee when appointed to a permanent, temporary, or term position.

A Relocation Incentive May Be Authorized for a Federal employee when the employee must move, as directed by the National ark Service (NPS) either through a management directed reassignment or selection for employment, to a different location at least 50 miles away from the one where his/her position of record held at time of selection is currently located, due to a need of the NPS.
