 shall provide written notice to the Secretary of its appointment to fill a vacancy, with a notification copy to the Chair of the CSC.&nbsp; The organization responsible for filling such vacancy shall use its reasonable efforts to fill such vacancy within one month

 person could lead to unnecessary restrictions on filling vacancies (i.e., if a Japanese engineer is being replaced, does the vacancy have to be filled by another Japanese engineer?).<o:p></o:p></i></p>
