A BILL
To provide that the provisions of chapters 83 and 84 of
title 5, United States Code, relating to reemployed annu-
itants shall not apply with respect to postal retirees
who are reemployed, on a temporary basis, to serve as
rural letter carriers or rural postmasters.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. EXTENSION OF EXCLUSIONARY AUTHORITY.
Section 1005(d) of title 39, United States Code, is
amended—
(1) by striking ‘‘(d)’’ and inserting ‘‘(d)(1)’’; and
(2) by adding at the end the following:
‘‘(2) The provisions of subsections (i) and (l)(2) of sec-
tion 8344, and of subsections (f) and (i)(2) of section 8468,
of title 5 shall apply with respect to the Postal Service. For
purposes of so applying such provisions—
‘‘(A) any reference in such provisions to the head
of an Executive agency shall be considered a reference
to the Postmaster General; and
‘‘(B) any reference in such provisions to an em-
ployee shall be considered a reference to an officer or
employee of the Postal Service.’’.
Amend the title so as to read: ‘‘A bill to amend title
39, United States Code, to make applicable with respect
to the United States Postal Service certain exclusionary
authority relating to the treatment of reemployed annu-
itants under the civil service retirement laws.’’.
