On 25 January 2006, the Assistant Secretary for Health signed Manual Circular PHS No. 381
(available at http://dcp.psc.gov/PDF_docs/mc381.pdf )
implementing a 1 year special leave accrual policy. Officers may carry forward up to 90 annual leave
days until 31 December 2006. This policy applies to officers serving on extended active duty on or
after 29 August 2005 who were unable to take annual leave because of their direct or indirect involvement
in the 2005 hurricane response and relief efforts. The Office of the Surgeon General, through the Office
of Commissioned Corps Operations, shall be responsible for implementing this policy. |
