The OPM report goes on to state that: The Marshalls Service. Bureau of Indian Affairs. Immigration and Naturalization Service. and Secret Service stated that it Is more logical and equitable to use functional age (as determined through periodic medical examination) rather than chronological age to determine fitness for duty. The advantage in using individualized tests of fitness is obvious when one considers the fact. as noted by the Forest Service. that employees in that agency do not generally retire from primary positions. but from administrative positions which are no more strenuous than similar positions in other fields in which performance is unrelated to chronological age. The genesis of Federal retirement ages was arbitrary and the reasons for the exemptions are obsolete.
