We need to produce HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes Duties Summary (which is responsibilities), Requirements (Qualifications). It also includes some description of role, location, etc. There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not include those sections. Also we should not repeat job title as heading. The posting mentions "Investigator II position". We should not put that as heading. We need to include sections: maybe "About the role" (description), "Responsibilities" (duties summary), "Requirements" (qualifications). Possibly also "Qualifications" but that's same as Requirements? The instruction says use headings for section headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include both Requirements and Qualifications if distinct. But the posting lumps them together: "Requirements Qualifications". We could treat that as one section maybe "Requirements". Or we could split into Requirements and Qualifications but they'd be duplicate. Better to have one section "Requirements". Also we could have "About the role" covering the descriptive paragraphs about mission, location, etc.

Or we could split into Requirements and Qualifications but they'd be duplicate. Better to have one section "Requirements". Also we could have "About the role" covering the descriptive paragraphs about mission, location, etc.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The posting has lists: bullet points? Not exactly bullet but paragraphs with semicolons. We can convert to list items where appropriate. For duties: list of duties: examine products; collect samples; conduct inspections; gather information; apply critical thinking; maintain certification; provide outreach; mentor; etc. We'll make
- each.
For requirements: list of education/experience options. Could be a list.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. The posting includes some motivational language: "Become a part of the Department..." etc. That's substantive? It's about mission; we can keep as prose in About the role.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must not include Pay/Benefits/Schedule sections because not present.
Thus output HTML fragment:
About the role
... descriptive paragraphs ...
Responsibilities
- ... each duty ...
Requirements
... description of qualification requirements ...
- ... each option ...
We need to ensure we don't include headings with empty content.
Let's extract content.
Original text:
"Duties Summary This position is being filled under a stream-lined hiring authority, Title 21 of the United States Code (21 US Code 379d-3a) as amended by the 21st Century Cures Act of 2016, section 3072 and the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, Section 3624. The candidate selected for this position will serve under a career or career-conditional appointment and be paid under the provisions of this authority. This position is being recruited based on the Title 21 Pay Table 1, Band A (GS-11 equivalent)."
That's part of duties summary but also includes hiring authority and pay table. Pay table info is about pay but it's specific: Title 21 Pay Table 1, Band A (GS-11 equivalent). According to rules, we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does state pay table info. Should we include Pay section? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state pay table info. So we could include a Pay section with that info. However we also have a Duties Summary that includes that sentence. Might be better to extract pay info into a Pay section. But the instruction also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." If we create a Pay section with just that line, maybe it's thin but it's substantive. Could also incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities? The pay info is not a duty. It's about compensation. Could be placed in About the role? But About the role is for description of role, not pay. Might be better to have a Pay section.
Similarly, there is no explicit Benefits or Schedule.
Thus we may have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay.
But we need to check if the posting includes any benefit info: none.
Thus we will include Pay.
Now we need to extract About the role content: The paragraphs after duties summary? Actually the duties summary includes the hiring authority etc. Then after that: "Requirements Qualifications In order to qualify for the Investigator II position ..." So the About the role could be the descriptive paragraphs about mission, location, etc after the qualifications? Let's see.
After the qualifications section, there is: "NOTE: Applicants must submit all relevant transcripts that demonstrate you possess the required education to meet the Basic Qualifications. Become a part of the Department that touches the lives of every American. At the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) you can give back to your community, state, and country, by making a difference in the lives of Americans everywhere! HHS is the principal agency for protecting the health of citizens. Join HHS and help to make our world healthier, safer, and better for all Americans. The Food and Drug Administration is the regulatory, scientific, public health, and consumer protection agency responsible for ensuring that all human and animal drugs, and medical devices are safe and effective, that cosmetics, foods, food additives, drugs and medicated feeds for food producing animals, and radiation emitting devices are safe, and that all such products marketed in the United States are adequately, truthfully and informatively labeled and safely and properly stored, transported, manufactured packaged and regulated. The position is located in the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Office of Inspections and Investigations (OII), Office of Import Operations (OIO). The Office of Inspections and Investigations (OII) is at the forefront of building a public health safety net for today's complex, global regulatory environment. OII professionals work in a range of program areas and locations, with 196 offices throughout the United States."
That seems suitable for About the role.
Thus About the role will include that paragraph(s). Also maybe the initial sentence about streamlined hiring authority could be part of About the role? But it's more about appointment type. Could be included in About the role as well. However we already have Pay section for pay table. The hiring authority and appointment type could be part of About the role.
We need to avoid duplication.
Let's structure:
About the role
This position is being filled under a stream-lined hiring authority, Title 21 of the United States Code (21 US Code 379d-3a) as amended by the 21st Century Cures Act of 2016, section 3072 and the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, Section 3624. The candidate selected for this position will serve under a career or career-conditional appointment and be paid under the provisions of this authority. Become a part of the Department that touches the lives of every American.

OII professionals work in a range of program areas and locations, with 196 offices throughout the United States.
But note we duplicated the pay info? Actually we included the hiring authority and appointment but not the pay table. We'll move pay table to Pay section.
Thus About the role excludes the pay table line.
Now Responsibilities: Duties Summary content before the Requirements Qualifications heading. Let's extract:
"Duties Summary This position is being filled under a stream-lined hiring authority, Title 21 of the United States Code (21 US Code 379d-3a) as amended by the 21st Century Cures Act of 2016, section 3072 and the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, Section 3624. The candidate selected for this position will serve under a career or career-conditional appointment and be paid under the provisions of this authority. This position is being recruited based on the Title 21 Pay Table 1, Band A (GS-11 equivalent)."
Wait that's actually the same as earlier. Actually the Duties Summary includes the hiring authority and pay table. But we moved hiring authority to About the role and pay table to Pay. The duties summary also includes maybe the rest of duties? The text after that is "Requirements Qualifications In order to qualify for the Investigator II position..." So the duties summary might be just that first paragraph. However there is also a paragraph describing the Investigator job family etc. That appears under "Basic Qualification Requirements:" but actually it's part of the qualification description, not duties. Let's re-read the original:
"Duties Summary This position is being filled under a stream-lined hiring authority, Title 21 of the United States Code (21 US Code 379d-3a) as amended by the 21st Century Cures Act of 2016, section 3072 and the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, Section 3624.

This position is being recruited based on the Title 21 Pay Table 1, Band A (GS-11 equivalent). Requirements Qualifications In order to qualify for the Investigator II position which falls under the 0696 occupational Series, you must meet the following requirements by 11:59 pm EST on 10/01/2026: Basic Qualification Requirements: This Investigator job family covers professional positions that conduct inspections in FDA regulated industries and prepare and submit reports accompanied by supporting evidence documenting violations of the FD&C Act and other laws, regulations, and requirements administered by FDA.
