         CHAPTER VI--FEDERAL RETIREMENT THRIFT INVESTMENT BOARD

                            Subpart A_General
 
Sec.  1620.1  Application.


    The Federal Employees' Retirement System Act of 1986 (codified as 
amended largely at 5 U.S.C. 8351 and 8401 through 8479) originally 
limited TSP eligibility to specifically named groups of employees. On 
various occasions, Congress has since expanded TSP eligibility to other 
groups. Depending on the circumstances, that subsequent legislation 
requires retroactive contributions or provides other special features. 
Where necessary, this part describes those special features. The 
employees and employing agencies covered by this part are also governed 
by the other regulations in 5 CFR chapter VI to the extent that they do 
not conflict with the regulations of this part.
