1. (a) When an examination is to result in a promotional list the number of names to be placed on that list shall not be limited unless the announcement of the examination states:

   1. (1) The number of names to be placed on the list originally.
   2. (2) The length of time the list will remain in effect, unless it is exhausted sooner.

   3. (3) The required general average score shall be 70%.

      The Department shall increase the number of names placed on an eligible list beyond the number originally stated on the examination announcement as necessary to prevent the occurrence of inequity as the result of tied scores, and in order to permit placing on the list the name of any person who, as a result of deferred examination, correction of clerical error, or granting of appeal, attains a score at least equal to the score of a person included on the original list. The Department may extend the life of the list beyond the announced expiration date or the Department, after a public hearing, may order the list abolished prior to that date.

2. (b) The Department may augment the names originally placed on an eligible list by one or more blocks of 10 candidates each, or all names if fewer than 10 remain, when:

   1. (1) The original number of names will not meet the state's needs during the life of the list, and
   2. (2) Qualified candidates can be obtained from those persons successful on the original examination but not on the original list, and
   3. (3) Retesting is impractical for such reasons as inadequate number of new candidates, and insufficient time has elapsed for unsuccessful candidates to have improved their qualifications.
