                         Subpart C_Annual Leave
 
Sec. 630.310  Scheduling of annual leave by employees determined 
necessary for Year 2000 computer conversion efforts.

    (a) Year 2000 computer conversion efforts are deemed to be an 
exigency of the public business for the purpose of restoring annual 
leave forfeited under 5 U.S.C. 6304. This exigency terminates on January 
31, 2000.
    (b) For any employee who forfeits annual leave under 5 U.S.C. 6304 
at the beginning of leave year 2000 because the agency determined the 
employee's services were required during the Year 2000 computer 
conversion exigency, the forfeited annual leave is deemed to have been 
scheduled in advance for the purpose of 5 U.S.C. 6304(d)(1)(B) and Sec. 
630.308.
    (c) Annual leave restored under 5 U.S.C. 6304(d) because of the Year 
2000 computer conversion exigency must be scheduled and used not later 
than the end of leave year 2002.
    (d) The time limits established under paragraphs (a) and (b) of 
Sec. 630.306 for using previously restored annual leave do not apply 
for the period during which an employee's services were determined 
necessary for the completion of Year 2000 computer conversion efforts. 
On January 31, 2000, a new time limit will be established under 
paragraph (c) of this section for all annual leave restored to such an 
employee.
    (e) An employee whose services were determined necessary during the 
Year 2000 computer conversion exigency for a portion of leave year 1999, 
but who subsequently moves to a position not involving Year 2000 
computer conversion efforts, must make a reasonable effort to comply 
with the scheduling requirement in Sec. 630.308(a). The head of the 
agency or his or her designee may exempt such an employee from the 
advance scheduling requirement in Sec. 630.308(a) if coverage under 
paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section terminated during leave year 1999 
and the employee can demonstrate that he or she was unable to comply 
with the advance

scheduling requirement due to circumstances beyond his or her control.
