Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. COMPUTATION OF BASIC ANNUITY FOR CER-
TAIN AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—Section 8415(f) of title 5, United 
States Code, is amended to read as follows: 
‘‘(f) The annuity of an air traffic controller or former 
air traffic controller retiring under section 8412(a) is com-
puted under subsection (a), except that if the individual 
has at least 5 years of service in any combination as— 
‘‘(1) an air traffic controller as defined by sec-
tion 2109(1)(A)(i); 
‘‘(2) a first level supervisor of an air traffic 
controller as defined by section 2109(1)(A)(i); or 
‘‘(3) a second level supervisor of an air traffic 
controller as defined by section 2109(1)(A)(i); 
so much of the annuity as is computed with respect to 
such type of service shall be computed by multiplying 17⁄10 
percent of the individual’s average pay by the years of 
such service.’’. 
(b) EFFECTIVE DATE.—The amendment made by 
subsection (a) shall be deemed to be effective on December 
12, 2003.
