    (a) Purpose. This subpart prescribes the regulations required by 
section 5942a of title 5, United States Code, to authorize payment of a 
separate maintenance allowance to assist an employee assigned to 
Johnston Island to meet the additional expenses of maintaining family 
members elsewhere who would normally reside with him or her because they 
cannot accompany the employee to Johnston Island. This subpart provides 
rules for determining which employees are eligible to receive the 
separate maintenance allowance, who qualifies as family members under 
the program, the method of payment, and payment amounts.
    (b) Applicability. This subpart applies to an employee (as defined 
in 5 U.S.C. 2105) in an executive department (as defined in section 101 
of title 5, United States Code) or an independent establishment (as 
defined in section 104 of title 5, United States Code) who is assigned 
to a post of duty at Johnston Island.
