This notice corrects an omission in the final regulations and changes the title of this section to accurately reflect the content.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Office of Personnel Management is making the following correction to § 353.208 in title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, to insert the phrase “or sick leave under 5 U.S.C. 6307, if appropriate,” which was inadvertently omitted from the final regulation. We are also changing the title of this section from “use of paid leave during uniform service” to “use of paid time off during uniform service” to accurately reflect the inclusion of compensatory time off for travel that was added to this section in the final regulation.
