E9-5027. Emergency Leave Transfer Program

AGENCY:

U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION:

Correcting amendment.

SUMMARY:

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued final regulations on November 4, 2008 on the Emergency Leave Transfer Program (73 FR 65496). This notice corrects an omission in the final regulations that would permit an agency's leave bank to donate annual leave to an emergency leave transfer program administered by another agency during a Governmentwide transfer of emergency leave coordinated by OPM. This language was dropped inadvertently in the final rule when this section was rewritten slightly.

DATES:

Effective March 10, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On November 4, 2008, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued final regulations on the Emergency Leave Transfer Program (73 FR 65496). In the final rule, we changed the language of § 630.1104 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, slightly from the language of that section in the proposed regulations. In doing so, we deleted inadvertently language that would allow an agency's leave bank to donate annual leave to an emergency leave transfer program administered by another agency during a Governmentwide transfer of emergency leave coordinated by OPM. Consequently, we are publishing this correction notice to reinsert this language.
