We need to produce HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to extract substantive info: Summary: position location, role description. Duties: major duties for GS-12 and GS-13. Requirements: conditions of employment (citizenship, selective service, drug screen, background investigation, time-in-grade, financial disclosure, mobility plan, non-bargaining unit). Qualifications: specialized experience needed for GS-12 and GS-13, details. Education: note that education cannot substitute experience. Additional info: benefits mention (generic). No specific pay or schedule given, so we should NOT include Pay or Schedule sections because not stated. Benefits: there is a generic statement about benefits but not specific; we should only include Benefits section if posting has real specific content. The posting says: "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package... Learn more about federal benefits." That's generic, not specific. According to rule: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state that there is a benefits package, but it's generic. Might be considered not specific enough. Safer to omit Benefits section. However we could include a short paragraph about benefits? The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state that there is a benefits package, but it's vague. I'd interpret that as not enough specific content; better to omit.
Thus sections: About the role (maybe from Summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (conditions of employment), Qualifications (specialized experience, education note). Possibly Skills? Not explicitly listed. Could infer from duties but better not to create Skills unless explicit. So we will not include Skills.

We could combine as bullet list, noting differences? But we must preserve all detail. Could list each duty with note about GS-12 vs GS-13. Perhaps separate subheadings? Not allowed; only

We'll produce - for each duty, maybe with note.

About the role
The position is located in the Office of Field Operations, Special Operations Division (SOD), Enforcement Support Branch (ESB), Victim Witness Assistance Program (VWAP). The incumbent serves as a Regional Victim Witness Coordinator (RVWC) performing a variety of victim witness coordination duties in support of Field Operations and is assigned to provide training and technical assistance to the VWAP.

- Work under the direction of the National Program Manager to establish partnerships with federal, state and local partners to enhance victim services. (GS‑12 level)
- Work independently to establish partnerships with federal, state and local partners to enhance victim services. (GS‑13 level)
But we need to preserve that GS-12 and GS-13 have slightly different duty about working under direction vs independently. Could separate lists per grade. However we can incorporate note.
Alternatively we could have two but not allowed. So we keep as above with notes.
Requirements
- Must be a U.S. Citizen or National.
- Selective Service registration is required for males born on or after December 31, 1959; those not registered must have an approved exemption on file.
- Pass a drug screen and be subject to random drug testing.
- Be suitable for Federal employment as determined by a background investigation.
- Meet all applicable time‑in‑grade requirements by the closing date of the announcement.
- If selected, may be required to disclose financial information in accordance with DOJ and Federal ethics guidelines.
- Must sign a mobility agreement; the ATF mobility plan facilitates short‑term assignments or permanent reassignments throughout the Bureau to enhance career development and mission effectiveness. Declining to sign the agreement will remove the applicant from consideration.
- This is a non‑bargaining unit position.
Qualifications
To qualify for the GS‑12 level, candidates must have at least one year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS‑11 grade. To qualify for the GS‑13 level, candidates must have at least one year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS‑12 grade.
Specialized experience must include all of the following:
- For GS‑12:
- Fundamental knowledge of the DOJ Attorney General Guidelines, the Victims Rights and Restitution Act, and the Crime Victims Rights Act;
- Providing direct support and services to victims and witnesses of crimes;
- Making oral presentations to large groups;
- Working with DOJ's Victim Notification System, or developing and maintaining an equivalent system to track victims.
- For GS‑13:
- Extensive insight of crisis intervention techniques to implement a plan of action for large numbers of victims/witnesses of mass casualty or catastrophic events;
- Measuring program effectiveness and efficiency of procedures;
- Creating informational resources needed to advance the program's goals;
- Interpreting, explaining, and applying a body of laws, regulations, and procedures;
- Participating in community efforts to provide and promote victim assistance and awareness.
Education cannot be substituted for experience; qualification must be met using experience alone.
We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate. We removed EEO, reasonable accommodation, etc. Also removed mention of assessment, email, etc. Also removed "Additional information" about CTAP etc. That's considered boilerplate? It's specific but maybe considered additional info; but it's about eligibility for displaced federal employees. Might be considered substantive? The rule: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The CTAP/ICTAP info is substantive. Should we include? It's about eligibility for displaced federal employees. It's not boilerplate; it's specific to the announcement. However it's under "Additional information". Might be considered part of qualifications? It's about documentation needed for CTAP/ICTAP eligibility. Could be considered part of Requirements? It's about eligibility for certain candidates. Might be considered substantive. However the instruction also says "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." CTAP/ICTAP is not exactly those. It's about special hiring programs. Might be worth keeping. But we need to decide.
The posting includes a lot of CTAP/ICTAP details: eligibility criteria, documentation needed. That's substantive for certain applicants. I'd include it under a section maybe "Additional Eligibility (CTAP/ICTAP)" but we only allowed headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We cannot create custom headings. So we need to fit that info into existing allowed sections. Could go under Requirements (as additional eligibility criteria) or Qualifications. Probably Requirements is appropriate: conditions of employment includes citizenship etc; CTAP/ICTAP is about eligibility for certain federal employees. Could be added as a bullet under Requirements.
Similarly, the statement about "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."
