The publisher's summary

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a direct final rule making technical revisions to OPM's Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) regulations to incorporate various statutory amendments. The rule reflects statutory changes making virtually all Federal civilian service and certain honorable active military service qualify for determining FMLA eligibility, making clear that annual and sick leave provided under an authority outside of title 5, United States Code, may be substituted for unpaid FMLA leave, and excluding certain Veterans Health Administration (VHA) employees from title 5 FMLA coverage.
