We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Duties (maybe heading "Responsibilities"? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The posting has "Duties" and "Requirements" and "Qualifications". Also there is "Conditions of employment" under Requirements. Also "Education". Also "Additional information" etc. We need to preserve all substantive info, but remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, etc. Also remove application instructions. The posting includes a lot of boilerplate after "Additional information". We need to cut that out. Also we should not include sections like Benefits, Pay, Schedule unless present. Not present. So we will have sections: Responsibilities (from Duties), Requirements (including Conditions of employment), Qualifications (including Basic Requirement, Specialized Experience, Education, etc). Possibly also "Additional information" but that seems like boilerplate about mission, ethics, etc. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Additional information" includes mission statement, ethics, etc. That might be considered boilerplate? It's not exactly EEO but it's generic agency mission. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The mission statement maybe not required to keep? It says "Preserve ALL substantive information". The mission statement is substantive? It's generic but maybe considered boilerplate. However it's not duplicated. It's part of the posting. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The mission statement is not legal/EEO etc. It's more about agency mission. Might be considered substantive? Hard to say. Usually such mission statements are considered boilerplate but not explicitly listed. I'd keep it? But the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The mission statement could be its own section "About the role" maybe. But we have no explicit "About the role". Could put under a heading "About the role". However the instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we could include an "About the role" section if there is relevant content. The mission statement could go there. Also there is "Additional information" about ethics, financial disclosure, etc. That seems like substantive requirements (conditions of employment). Actually those are conditions: financial disclosure, ethics, etc. So we should include those under Requirements maybe as a subsection. But we already have Requirements section with Conditions of employment. The ethics and financial disclosure could be part of Requirements. The mission statement maybe not needed.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll structure:

We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll structure:
Responsibilities
- ... each duty as li
We need to parse duties list from the text: "Duties Plans, directs, and reviews the work of subordinate staff, comprised of engineers, scientists, and technical specialists.Provides advice, counsel and/or instructions to individual employees on technical and administrative matters.Identifies training needs and ensures that appropriate training is provided.Directs the work of professional and highly technical programs including engineering and scientific expertise in all technological aspects of mine safety and health.Oversees the operation and maintenance of extensive laboratory facilities for precise chemical analysis of samples collected in mines.Reviews and establishes overall program and project objectives in terms of policy and budget.Responsible for the execution of Technical Support programs and policies nationwide.Provides engineering expertise and analyzes highly complex technical problems associated with the health and safety of the mining community.Advises the Director of Technical Support and other high-level Agency officials on a wide range of technical issues specific to the health and safety of enforcement activities and the mineral industries.Serves as a member of numerous high-level committees and participates in short and long-term policy definition and program planning.Serves as principal spokesperson for the center in communications with officials of MSHA or other federal agencies, representatives of state governments, and industry officials."
We need to split into separate li items. Each sentence separated by period. We'll create li for each.
Now Requirements: includes "Conditions of employment Must be a U.S. Citizen.Must be at least 16 years old.Requires a probationary period if the requirement has not been met.Candidate required to obtain the necessary security/investigation level.Subject to financial disclosure requirements.Requires a supervisory probationary period if the requirement has not been met.Requires a valid driver's license."
Also later there is "Required As a condition of employment for accepting this position, you may be required to serve a 1-year probationary period during which we will evaluate your fitness and whether your continued employment advances the public interest. In determining if your employment advances the public interest, we may consider: your performance and conduct; the needs and interests of the agency; whether your continued employment would advance organizational goals of the agency or the Government; and whether your continued employment would advance the efficiency of the Federal service. Upon completion of your probationary period your employment will be terminated unless you receive certification, in writing, that your continued employment advances the public interest."
Also there is mention of ethics and financial disclosure: "This position is subject to the confidential financial disclosure requirements of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 (P.L. 95-521). Therefore, if selected, you will be required to complete a Confidential Financial Disclosure Report (OGE Form 450) to determine if a conflict or an appearance of a conflict exists between your financial interest(s) and your prospective position with DOL. This information will be required annually. All MSHA employees and their spouses, and minor children are prohibited by regulation from having any interest, direct or indirect, in any mine or mining company that may be directly affected by the work of MSHA through its investigations, technical research, or other activities. These interests are prohibited under the Department of Labor's Supplemental Standards of Ethical Conduct Regulations at 5 CFR 5201.105. Certain MSHA employees are required to file a financial disclosure report. For questions, please contact Rhonda Dory at dory.rhonda.a@dol.gov or 1-202-693-1000 X18471."
Also "Based on agency needs, additional positions may be filled using this vacancy. The Department of Labor may use certain incentives and hiring flexibilities, currently offered by the Federal government to attract highly qualified candidates." That's maybe boilerplate but could be kept? It's not legal/EEO. Might be considered extra info. Might be okay to keep under Requirements or Additional info.
Also "Click for more information on The Fair Chance Act (FCA) prohibits Federal agencies from requesting an applicant's criminal history information before the agency makes a conditional offer of employment. If you believe a DOL employee has violated your rights under the FCA, you may file a complaint of the alleged violation following our agency's complaint process All Department of Labor employees are subject to the provisions of the Drug-Free Workplace Program under Executive Order 12564 and Public Law 100-71. Candidates should be committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government, passionate about the ideals of our American republic, and committed to upholding the rule of law and the United States Constitution. A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package. As a federal employee, you and your family will have access to a range of benefits that are designed to make your federal care"
That last part is cut off. This is boilerplate about benefits, FCA, drug-free workplace, etc. According to instruction, remove boilerplate like legal/EEO etc. FCA is legal? It's about rights. Might be considered legal boilerplate. Drug-Free Workplace Program is also legal. So we should remove that. Also the benefits mention is generic; we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It mentions "comprehensive benefits package" but not specific. So we should not create Benefits section. So we will omit that.
Thus we will keep Requirements: Conditions of employment (citizenship, age, probation, security, financial disclosure, supervisory probation, driver's license) plus the 1-year probationary period details, plus ethics/financial disclosure details, plus maybe the additional positions/hiring flexibilities note.
Qualifications: includes basic requirement (degree engineering, ABET, etc), combination of education and experience, professional registration, written test, specified academic courses, related curriculum, plus "In addition to the basic requirements as described above, your application and resume must clearly show that you possess the experience and/or additional education requirements defined below." Then "If qualifying based on experience, be sure these types of examples are evident in your resume." Then "Specialized Experience is the experience that equipped the applicant with the particular knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform the duties of the position successfully, and that is typically in or related to the position to be filled. To be creditable, specialized experience must have been equivalent to at least the next lower grade level. GS-15: Must have 52 weeks of specialized experience equivalent to at least the GS-14 that has equipped the applicant with the particular knowledge, experience and skills to successfully perform the duties of the position. Specialized Experience Must Include Allof The Following Provides engineering expertise and analyzes highly complex technical problems associated with mine safety and health.Directs, manages or coordinates a technical program pertinent to the safety and health of miners. Examples of such programs include engineering evaluations of roof control and mine waste dam plans; mine opening design; mine electrical power systems; mine ventilation systems and equipment; the weighing and laboratory analysis of respirable coal mine dust samples; and/or the engineering control and evaluation of noise levels.Facilitates a consensus in the face of opposing viewpoints in critical mine safety and health matters.Plans, directs, and reviews the work of subordinate staff, comprised of engineers, scientists and other technical specialists. There is no substitution of education in lieu of specialized experience at the GS-15 grade level."
Also "Education Any applicant falsely claiming an academic degree from an accredited school will be subject to actions ranging from disqualification from federal employment to removal from federal service. If your education was completed at a foreign college or university, you must show comparability to education received in accredited educational institutions in the United States and comparability to applicable minimum coursework requirements for this position."
Also "Click Additional information Applicants must meet all legal and regulatory requirements. Reference the Required Documents section for additional requirements." That's maybe boilerplate.
We need to preserve all substantive info. So we will include the qualifications details as text under Qualifications section, maybe as
paragraphs. We should not repeat the job title as heading. Not include Job ID. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:
