Sec. 831.203  Continuation of coverage for employees of the Metropolitan
Washington Airports Authority.

    (a) Permanent Federal Aviation Administration employees assigned to 
Washington National Airport or Dulles International Airport who elect to 
transfer to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, retain their 
retirement coverage under subchapter III of chapter 83 of title 5, 
United States Code.
    (b) Eligibility requirements. To be eligible for continuation of 
retirement coverage, an employee must (1) be a permanent Federal 
Aviation Administration employee assigned to the Metropolitan Washington 
Airports who elects to transfer to the Airports Authority; (2) be 
subject to subchapter III chapter 83 of title 5 United States Code on 
the day before the date the lease takes effect; and (3) become 
continually employed by the Airports Authority without a break in 
service. A ``break in service'' means a separation from employment of at 
least 3 calendar days.
    (c) Employee deductions. Employees of the Airports Authority who 
have continuing coverage under title 5 retirement provisions are deemed 
to consent to deductions from their basic pay for the Civil Service 
Retirement and Disability Fund. The amounts deducted will be the same as 
if the employees were still employed by the Federal Government. The 
Airports Authority must, in accordance with procedures established by 
OPM, pay into the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund the 
amounts deducted from an employee's pay.
    (d) Employer contributions. The Airports Authority must, in 
accordance with procedures established by OPM, pay into the Civil 
Service Retirement and Disability Fund amounts equal to any agency 
contributions that would be required for employees covered by the Civil 
Service Retirement System.

    (e) Sick leave. An employee who retires, or dies leaving a survivor 
entitled to an annuity, from the Airports Authority within the 5 year 
period beginning on the date the lease takes effect will be permitted to 
credit unused sick leave in his or her annuity computation. After the 5 
year period, use of unused sick leave in the annuity computation will be 
permitted if the employee is under a formal leave system as defined in 
Sec. 831.302.
