                    TITLE 5--ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL
 
         CHAPTER VI--FEDERAL RETIREMENT THRIFT INVESTMENT BOARD
 
PART 1690--MISCELLANEOUS REGULATIONS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1690.2  Power of attorney.

    This section applies to all regulations in this chapter that require 
a signature by the participant on a Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) form, 
where the participant desires to effect transactions through an agent 
(i.e., an attorney-in-fact). Before an attorney-in-fact may sign a TSP 
form on behalf of a participant, the Board must have approved either a 
general power of attorney which authorizes the attorney-in-fact to act 
on behalf of the participant with respect to the principal's personal 
property or in Federal Government retirement, financial, or business 
transactions; or a special power of attorney which authorizes the 
attorney-in-fact to effect transactions in the TSP on behalf of the 
participant. For a power of attorney to be acceptable to effect 
transactions in the TSP, it must be authenticated, attested, 
acknowledged, or certified before a notary public or other official 
authorized by law to administer oaths or affirmations. The Board will 
advise the person submitting a power of attorney whether it is valid to 
effect transactions in the TSP.
