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.''

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.
