About this file
This document is a medical requirements specification for the Criminal Investigation Series, 1811 position at U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), issued by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) on May 5, 2016.
The position requires moderate to arduous physical exertion involving walking, standing, firearm use, and exposure to inclement weather. Applicants must demonstrate manual dexterity with free motion of finger, wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip, and knee joints, with arms, hands, legs, and feet sufficiently intact and functioning. The document specifies detailed vision requirements including uncorrected distant vision of 20/200 or better in each eye, binocular distant vision correctable to 20/20, depth perception of 70 seconds of arc or better, normal peripheral vision, and normal color vision as measured by the Ishihara color test (14 plates). Monocular vision is generally disqualifying, and X-Chrome lenses are not acceptable for correcting color deficiencies. Near vision must be sufficient to read Jaeger type 2 at 14 inches with or without correction. Hearing loss must not exceed 35 decibels at 1000, 2000, and 3000 Hz levels. The requirements also mandate emotional and mental stability, as duties are exacting and responsible and conducted under trying conditions. Any physical condition rendering the applicant a hazard to themselves or others is automatically disqualifying. Derivative documents require permission from the CBP Chief of the Medical and Fitness Branch.

The duties of positions in this series require moderate to arduous physical exertion involving walking and standing, use of firearms, and exposure to inclement weather. Manual dexterity with comparatively free motion of finger, wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip, and knee joints is required. Arms, hands, legs, and feet must be sufficiently intact and functioning in order that applicants may perform the duties satisfactorily. Sufficiently good vision in each eye, with or without correction, is required to perform the duties satisfactorily. Near vision, corrective lenses permitted, must be sufficient to read printed material the size of typewritten characters. Hearing loss, as measured by an audiometer, must not exceed 35 decibels at 1000, 2000, and 3000 Hz levels. Since the duties of these positions are exacting and responsible, and involve activities under trying conditions, applicants must possess emotional and mental stability. Any physical condition that would cause the applicant to be a hazard to himself/herself, or others is disqualifying.
Clarification of the OPM Medical Requirements stating “sufficiently good vision” is defined as:
1. Uncorrected Distant Vision must be equal to or better than 20/200 in each eye.
2. Binocular Distant Vision must be correctable to 20/20.
3. Monocular Vision is generally disqualifying.
4. Depth Perception must be equal to or better than 70 seconds of arc.
5. Peripheral Vision must be normal.
6. Color Vision must be normal. An acceptable measure of color discrimination is the Ishihara color (14 plates). X-Chrome lenses are not acceptable as a means for correcting color deficiencies.
Clarification of the OPM (Near Vision) Medical Requirement stating “sufficient to read printed material the size of typewritten characters” is defined as:
1. Corrected or uncorrected must be sufficient to read Jaeger type 2 at 14 inches.
