Sec. 1620.1  Application.


    The Federal Employees' Retirement System Act of 1986 (codified as 
amended largely at 5 U.S.C. 8351 and 8401 through 8479) originally 
limited TSP eligibility to specifically named groups of employees. On 
various occasions, Congress has since expanded TSP eligibility to other 
groups. Depending on the circumstances, that subsequent legislation 
requires retroactive contributions, waives open season rules, or 
provides other special features. Where necessary, this part describes 
those special features. The employees and employing agencies covered by 
this part are also governed by the other regulations in 5 CFR chapter VI 
to the extent that they do not conflict with the regulations of this 
part.
