Sec.  930.208  Administrative Law Judge Loan Program--detail to other 

agencies.

    (a) In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 3344, OPM administers an 
Administrative Law Judge Loan Program that coordinates the loan/detail 
of an administrative law judge from one agency to another. An agency may 
request from OPM the services of an administrative law judge if the 
agency is occasionally or temporarily insufficiently staffed with 
administrative law judges, or an agency may loan the services of its 
administrative law judges to other agencies if there is insufficient 
work to fully occupy the administrative law judges' work schedule.
    (b) An agency's request to OPM for the services of an administrative 
law judge must:
    (1) Identify and briefly describe the nature of the cases(s) to be 
heard;
    (2) Specify the legal authority for which the use of an 
administrative law judge is required; and
    (3) Demonstrate, as appropriate, that the agency has no 
administrative law judge available to hear the case(s).
    (c) The services of an administrative law judge under this program 
are made from the starting date of the detail until the end of the 
current fiscal year, but may be extended into the next fiscal year with 
OPM's approval. Decisions for an extension are made by OPM on a case-by-
case basis.
    (d) The agency requesting the services of an administrative law 
judge under this program is responsible for reimbursing the agency that 
employs the administrative law judge for the cost of the service.
