for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content. So we can include About the role with organizational location summary. Provide that as prose

with salary info. Also maybe include note about locality pay tables? That's part of Pay. We'll include that. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. We have removed many. We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like citizenship, selective service, residency, background investigation, drug-free workplace, ethics, E-Verify, bargaining unit, security clearance, training requirement, probationary period, CTAP/ICTAP, education note, additional info about special appointing authorities, veterans, etc. That's a lot. Should we include all under Requirements? The "Requirements" section includes citizenship, selective service, residency, background investigation, drug testing, ethics, E-Verify, bargaining unit, security clearance, training, probationary period, CTAP/ICTAP eligibility, etc. Also there is "Qualifications" section includes experience, time in grade, political appointee disclosure, etc. Also "Education" note. Also "Additional Information" includes special appointing authorities, veterans, etc. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include them somewhere. Could create sections: Requirements (citizenship, etc.), Qualifications (experience, etc.), Additional Info (special appointing authorities, veterans, etc.). But instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. But we must preserve all info; we can combine some into Requirements and Qualifications and Additional Info. However we must not create sections with filler. So we need to decide. We have headings allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No "Additional Information" heading allowed. So we must fit extra info into existing allowed headings. Could put additional info under Requirements or Qualifications as appropriate. For example, special appointing authorities, veterans, etc. could go under Requirements (maybe as additional requirements). Or we could create a "Skills" section? Not present. Better to put under Requirements. Thus we will have sections: About the role (organizational location), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (citizenship, selective service, residency, background investigation, drug testing, ethics, E-Verify, bargaining unit, security clearance, training, probationary period, CTAP/ICTAP, special appointing authorities, veterans, etc.), Qualifications (experience, time in grade, political appointee disclosure, education note), Pay (salary and locality pay tables). Ensure we don't omit any substantive info. We must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning. The text includes some like "Please see announcement on USAJOBS for available locations." That's not boilerplate but maybe location info. We'll keep location in About the role. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's extract details. About the role: Organizational Location: Department of Homeland Security, within U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Border Patrol, Rio Grande Valley Sector, Targeting and Intelligence Division, Sector Intelligence Unit located in Edinburg, TX.
