                        WASHINGTON D.C. 20548

The Honorable 'Donald J. Devine
Director, Office of Personnel
  Management

Dear Mr. Devine:

     This is in response to your  letter of April 24, 1981,
requesting our comments on proposed  Federal Personnel Manual
(FPM) Letter 630-    , Military Leave, Reserves and National
Guardsmen.  The proposed letter  is in the form of questions
and answers and is presented  to us for comment because of
the changes in 5 U.S.C. 6323(a)  resulting from the enactment
of Public Law 96-431, October  1, 1980, 94 Stat. 1850.

     Public Law 96-431 amended  the existing law by provid-
ing that military leave would accrue  on a fiscal year basis
at the rate of 15 days per fiscal year  and that accrued but
unused leave could be-carried  into the succeeding fiscal
year not to exceed 15 days at  the beginning of a fiscal
year.  The legislation also provides  that part-time career
employees are entitled to accrue  leave on a prorated basis.

     Rather than comment on each  specific question and answer
in the proposed letter, we feel  that general comments on
those aspects of the amendment that  are of concern to us will
be of more overall benefit.  Generally,  any matters discussed
in the questions and proposed answers  which are not referred
to in this letter may be viewed  as having our agreement.

     Section 6323 of title 5, United  States Code, as amended,
provides as follows:

          (a)(1)  Subject to paragraph  (2) of this
     subsection, an employee as defined  by section
     2105 of this title or an  individual employed
     by the government of the District  of Columbia,
     permanent or temporary  indefinite, is entitled
     to leave without loss  in pay, time, or per-
     formance or efficiency rating  fcr active duty
     or engaging in field or coast  defense training
     under sections 502-505 of title  32 as a Reserve
     of the armed forces or member  of the National
