Note 1.—No change in the designation of the register will be made after the date set for the close of receipt of applications. The name of each male eligible for any post office not mentioned above is entered on both the male clerk register and the carrier register, and will be certified in its order to vacancies occurring in either the position of male clerk or carrier, without regard to any choice of position expressed by the eligible in his application. Male eligibles will be entitled to three certifications from the male clerk register and three certifications from the carrier register. Failure of selection from one register or declination of appointment when selected will not affect the eligible’s standing on the other register. Appointment from either register will remove the eligible’s name from both registers.

Note 2.—Any person may at the same time be an applicant for, or eligible from examination for more than one post office. Whenever a person whose name is upon more than one register is appointed from one of such registers, his eligibility on all registers shall expire by reason of such appointment. He may, however, upon his written request, at any time within the period for which eligibility would continue if not canceled by appointment, have his eligibility revived on one or more of such registers for the balance of such period of eligibility.
