3(c)(1)(F)--
            (1) shall not be subject to any reduction in either the 
        rate of adjusted basic pay payable or law enforcement 
        availability pay payable to such covered employee; and
            (2) shall be credited for years of service in a specific 
        pay band under a TSA personnel management system as if the 
        employee had served in an equivalent General Schedule position 
        at the same grade, for purposes of determining the appropriate 
        step within a grade at which to establish the employee's 
        converted rate of pay.
    (b) Retirement Pay.--For purposes of determining a covered 
employee's average pay to calculate the employee's retirement annuity, 
consistent with title 5, United States Code, for any covered employee 
who retires within three years of the conversion date, the higher of 
the following shall be used:
            (1) The covered employee's annual rate of basic pay on the 
        first date of the pay period following the conversion under 
        section 3(c)(1).
            (2) The amount determined consistent with sections 8331(4) 
        or 8401(3) of such title 5, whichever is applicable.
    (c) Limitation on Premium Pay.--Notwithstanding section 5547 of 
title 5, United States Code, or any other provision of law, a Federal 
Air Marshal or criminal investigator hired prior to the date of 
enactment of this Act may be eligible for premium pay up to the maximum 
level allowed by the Administrator prior to the date of enactment of 
this Act. The Office of Personnel Management shall recognize such 
premium pay as fully creditable for the purposes of calculating pay and 
retirement benefits.
    (d) Collective Bargaining Unit.--Notwithstanding section 7112 of 
title 5, United States Code, following the application of chapter 71 
pursuant to section 3(c)(2) of this Act, full- and part-time non-
supervisory Transportation Security Administration personnel carrying

Code, shall remain eligible to form a collective bargaining unit.
    (e) Preservation of Other Rights.--In the case of each covered 
employee as of the conversion date, the Secretary shall take any 
actions necessary to ensure that--
            (1) any annual leave, sick leave, or other paid leave 
        accrued, accumulated, or otherwise available to a covered 
        employee immediately before the conversion date shall remain 
        available to the employee until used, notwithstanding any 
        limitation on accumulated leave under chapter 63 of title 5, 
        United States Code; and
            (2) part-time personnel carrying out screening functions 
        under section 44901 of title 49, United States Code, continue 
        to pay Federal Employees Health Benefits premiums on the same 
        basis as full-time TSA employees.
    (f) Provision of Additional Benefits.--Subject to negotiations with 
the exclusive representative of full- and part-time non-supervisory 
Transportation Security Administration personnel carrying out screening 
functions under section 44901 of title 49, United States Code, pursuant

of such chapter 71 pursuant to section 3(c)(2) of this Act, the 
Administrator may--
            (1) notwithstanding chapter 63 of title 5, United States 
        Code, provide leave benefits for covered employees that exceed 
        those otherwise provided under such chapter;
            (2) notwithstanding chapter 55 of title 5, United States 
        Code, provide pay for covered employees that exceeds that
