GENERAL PROVISION—THIS TITLE 
SEC. 1701. (a)(1) If services performed by the des-
ignated employees under paragraph (2) of this subsection 
at the Department of the Interior or the Department of 
Agriculture during 2021 are determined by the Secretary 
of the Interior or the Secretary of Agriculture, as applica-
ble, to be primarily related to emergency wildland fire sup-
pression activities, any premium pay for such services 
shall be disregarded in calculating the aggregate of such 
employee’s basic pay and premium pay for purposes of a 
limitation under section 5547(a) of title 5, United States 
Code, or under any other provision of law, whether such 
employee’s pay is paid on a biweekly or calendar year 
basis. Any services during 2021 that generate payments 
payable in 2022 shall be disregarded in applying this sub-
section. 
(2) The premium pay waiver under paragraph (1) of 
this subsection shall apply to individuals serving as 
wildland firefighters and as fire management response of-
ficials, including regional fire directors, deputy regional 
fire directors, agency officials who directly oversee fire op-
erations, and fire management officers, and individuals 
serving on incident management teams (IMTs), at the Na-
tional Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), at Geographic 
Area Coordinating Centers (GACCs), and at Operations 
centers. 
(3) The Departments of the Interior and Agriculture 
shall provide a report to Congress detailing the number 
of positions, including by occupation, grade, and the ag-
gregate pay by type of pay for each individual who receives 
pay authorized under subsection (a)(1). 
(b) Any overtime pay for services described in sub-
section (a) that is payable under an authority outside of 
title 5, United States Code, shall be disregarded in calcu-
lating any annual limit on the amount of overtime pay 
payable in 2021. 
(c) Any pay that is disregarded under either sub-
section (a) or (b) shall be disregarded in calculating such 
employee’s aggregate pay for purposes of applying the lim-
itation in section 5307 of title 5, United States Code, dur-
ing 2021. 
(d)(1) Pay that is disregarded under subsection (a) 
or (b) shall not cause the aggregate of the employee’s basic 
pay and premium pay for the applicable calendar year to 
exceed the rate of basic pay payable for a position at level 
II of the Executive Schedule under section 5313 of title 
5, United States Code, as in effect at the end of such cal-
endar year.
(2) For purposes of applying this subsection to an 
employee who would otherwise be subject to the premium 
pay limits established under section 5547 of title 5, United 
States Code, ‘‘premium pay’’ means the premium pay paid 
under the provisions of law cited in section 5547(a). 
(3) For purposes of applying this subsection to an 
employee under a premium pay limit established under an 
authority other than section 5547 of title 5, United States 
Code, the agency responsible for administering such limit 
shall determine what payments are considered premium 
pay. 
(4) For the purpose of applying this subsection, 
‘‘basic pay’’ includes any applicable locality-based com-
parability payment under section 5304 of title 5, United 
States Code, any applicable special rate supplement under 
section 5305 of such title, or any equivalent payment 
under a similar provision of law. 
(e) This section shall take effect as if enacted on Jan-
uary 1, 2021. 
(f) If application of this section results in the pay-
ment of additional premium pay to a covered employee of 
a type that is normally creditable as basic pay for retire-
ment or any other purpose, that additional pay shall not— 
(1) be considered to be basic pay of the covered 
employee for any purpose; or
(2) be used in computing a lump-sum payment 
to the covered employee for accumulated and ac-
crued annual leave under section 5551 or section 
5552 of title 5, United States Code, or other similar 
provision of law. 
(g) Not later than 45 days after the date of enact-
