OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

5 CFR Part 630

RIN 3206-AJ51


Absence and Leave; Use of Restored Annual Leave

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Interim rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document corrects the effective date of the interim 
regulations that were originally published in the Federal Register on 
Friday, November 2, 2001 (66 FR 55557). The interim regulations provide 
that employees who would forfeit excess annual leave because of their 
work to support the Nation during the current national emergency will 
be deemed to have scheduled their excess annual leave in advance. The 
correct effective date of the interim regulations is November 2, 2001.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the interim rule published on 
November 2, 2001 at 66 FR 55557 is corrected to read ``November 2, 
2001.''

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sharon A. Herzberg at (202) 606-2858, 
FAX (202) 606-0824, or email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 2, 2001, the Office of Personnel 
Management (OPM) issued interim regulations to aid agencies and 
employees responding to the ``National Emergency by Reason of Certain 
Terrorist Attacks'' on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The 
interim regulations provide that employees who would forfeit excess 
annual leave because of their work to support the Nation during the 
current national emergency will be deemed to have scheduled their 
excess annual leave in advance. These employees will be entitled to 
restoration of their annual leave under these regulations.
    The effective date of the interim regulations were incorrect. The 
effective date of the interim regulations is November 2, 2001, the date 
of publication in the Federal Register. In its ``Waiver of Notice of 
Proposed Rule Making and Delay in Effective Date,'' OPM stated that 
there was good cause for making this rule effective in less than 30 
days. The delay in the effective date is being waived to give affected 
employees the benefit of these new provisions as quickly as possible.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    I certify that these regulations will not have significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities because they will 
affect only Federal agencies and employees.
