state for Hone Leave Matitlaments Under
is IY of Public Law 8&707
1. - Your memorandum of 17 May 1961, you have requested the
opinion of this Office as to "the appropr iate effective date to be
used in computing employee entitlements under Title IT, 'Amendments
to Annual and Sick Leave Act of 1951., as provided in Public Law
86-7th.'" When this sub jeet first catty uW in the drafting of an
Agency regulation to put into effect the statutory allowances of
home leave, this Office ruled that the effective date was 6 September
1960. We find no reason to change that ruling.
2. The following information is appropriate as background on
this question. Section 101 of Public Law 86-707 states that it is
the purpose of the act "to improve and strengthen the administration
of overseas activities of the Goverment by . . . (2) providing for
the uniform treatment of Goverment amplcyeees stationed overseas
to the extent justified by relative conditions of amplaiment [ar>d7
(3) establishing the basis for the more efficient and equitable
administration of the laws on - tang Government emplcrees for the
extra costs and hardships incident to their assignments overseas."
Section 111 applies the provisions of the act to civilian amplcyees
in each department and of the Executive Branch of the
Goverment. section 401(f) of the act stators: "upon ccseapletion of
2$ months of continuous service outside the United states, officers
and employees may be granted in accordance with regulations of the
President, leave of absence . . . ."
3. The Civil Service Coteaission has adopted regulations
i lamenting this act. Section 30.606 of the federal Personnel
Manual states that : "Rome leave pay not be granted until the
completion of 24 months of continuous creditable service abroad . . . . "
Under Section 30.6oi(c), "Service Abroad" is defined as "service on and
after September 6, 1960, as an employee of any age=W of the federal
Goverment at a position of duty outside the United states and outside
the employee's glace of residence, if his residence is the Common-
wealth of Puerto Rico or arty one of the possessions of the United
states."

4. no long~ of the act and the regulation is clear upon
its face. Withstanding the fact that the effective date Of the
6 September 1960, the date frc* which the 2 ath service period

service Comaission, the 6 September 1960 date allows areplw"s
of all armies of the gut to begin the service period frc m
the seine date.
