ACTION:

Correcting amendment.

SUMMARY:

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is correcting references to a non-existent section number in the recredit of sick leave regulations issued on December 2, 1994 (59 FR 62271).

DATES:

Effective March 10, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On December 2, 1994, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management issued final regulations concerning the recredit of sick leave (59 FR 62271). As a part of those regulations, § 630.502(b) and (c) made reference to § 630.407. On August 17, 2006, subpart D of this part was revised and § 630.407 was renumbered as § 630.405, with no change to the text (71 FR 48696). That document failed to amend § 630.502(b) and (c), which continue to reference the non-existent § 630.407. Consequently, we are publishing this correction notice to amend § 630.502(b) and (c) to replace the non-existent § 630.407 with § 630.405.
