Sec.  1601.32  Timing and posting dates.

    (a) Posting dates. The date on which the TSP processes or posts a 
contribution allocation or interfund transfer request (transaction 
request) is subject to a number of factors, including some that are 
outside of the control of the TSP, such as power outages, the failure of 
telephone service, unusually heavy transaction volume, and acts of God. 
These factors also could affect the availability of the TSP Web site and 
the ThriftLine. Therefore, the TSP cannot guarantee that a transaction 
request will be processed on a particular day. However, the TSP will 
process transaction requests under ordinary circumstances according to 
the following rules:
    (1) A transaction request entered into the TSP record keeping system 
by a participant who uses the TSP Web site or the ThriftLine, or by a 
TSP Service Office participant service representative at the 
participant's request, at or before 12:00 noon eastern time of any 
business day, will ordinarily be posted that business day. A transaction 
request entered into the system after 12:00 noon eastern time of any 
business day will ordinarily be posted on the next business day.
    (2) A transaction request made on the TSP Web site or the ThriftLine 
on a non-business day will ordinarily be posted on the next business 
day.
    (3) A transaction request made on a paper TSP form will ordinarily 
be posted under the rules in paragraph (a)(1) of this section, based on 
when the TSP record keeper enters the form into the TSP system. The TSP 
record keeper ordinarily enters such forms into the system within 24 
hours of their receipt.
    (4) In most cases, the share price(s) applied to an interfund 
transfer request is the value of the shares on the date the relevant 
transaction is posted. In some circumstances, such as error correction, 
the share price(s) for an earlier date will be used.
    (b) Limit. There is no limit on the number of contribution 
allocations or interfund transfer requests that may be made by a 
participant.
