Sec. 841.506  Effect of part 772 of this chapter on FERS payments.

    (a) Agency notification to OPM. (1) When it is determined that a 
FERS employee is to be given interim relief under 5 U.S.C. 
7701(b)(2)(A), the employing agency must notify OPM of the effective 
date of the interim appointment under Sec. 772.102 of this chapter.

The notice must specify that the appointment is required by the 
Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989.
    (2) When the MSPB initial decision cancelling the employee's 
separation becomes final, when the Board issues a final order cancelling 
the retiree's separation, or when the agency agrees to cancel the 
separation, the employing agency must notify OPM of the date the interim 
appointment ends and request the amount of the erroneous payment to be 
recovered under Sec. 550.805(e) of this chapter from any back pay 
adjustment to which the employee may be entitled.
    (b) Employee deductions and normal cost percentage. For the duration 
of the appointment, the agency will withhold the appropriate employee 
deduction and contribute the total amount of the normal cost percentage 
for the employee as prescribed by OPM. If and when a separation action 
is cancelled, the agency must make the corrections specified under 
Sec. 841.507 of this subpart.
