                    TITLE 5--ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL
 
                CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
 
PART 304--EXPERT AND CONSULTANT APPOINTMENTS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 304.105  Daily and biweekly basic pay limitations.

    (a) Unless specifically authorized by an appropriation or other 
statute, agencies subject to chapter 51 and subchapter III of chapter 53 
of title 5, United States Code, may not pay for any 1 day an aggregate 
amount of pay (including basic pay, locality pay under subpart F of part 
531 of this chapter, and premium pay under subpart A of part 550 of this 
chapter) that exceeds the daily equivalent of the highest rate payable 
under 5 U.S.C. 5332--that is, the daily rate for GS-15, step 10, under 
the General Schedule (excluding locality pay or any other additional 
pay). The daily rate is computed by dividing the annual GS-15, step 10, 
rate by 2,087 hours to find the hourly rate of pay and by multiplying 
the hourly rate of pay by 8 hours.
    (b) Unless specifically authorized by an appropriation or other 
statute, an expert or consultant shall not be paid for any biweekly pay 
period an aggregate amount of pay (including basic pay, locality pay 
under subpart F of part 531 of this chapter, and premium pay under 
subpart A of part 550 of this chapter) in excess of the biweekly rate of 
pay for GS-15, step 10, under the General Schedule (excluding locality 
pay or any other additional pay). The biweekly rate is computed by 
dividing the annual GS-15, step 10, rate by 2,087 hours to find the 
hourly rate of pay and by multiplying the hourly rate of pay by 80 
hours.
