5 CFR PART 630

RIN 3206-AL26


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: Doris Rippey by telephone at (202) 
606-2858; by fax at (202) 606-0824; or by e-mail at [email protected].

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 Sec.  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.
