    The employing authority, at its sole discretion, may choose to make 
employer contributions under 5 U.S.C. 8432(c) for employees who are 
covered under FERS. Such contributions may be made for any period of 
eligible service after January 1, 1984, provided that the employing 
agency must treat all its employees who are eligible to receive employer 
contributions in the same manner. The employing authority can commence 
or terminate employer contributions at any time after providing all 
affected employees with notice of a decision to commence or terminate 
such contributions at least 45 days before the beginning of the 
applicable election period. The employing authority may not contribute 
to the TSP on behalf of CSRS employees.
