PUBLIC LAW 103-260—MAY 26, 1994 108 STAT. 703 4703 of title 5, United States Code, the Federal Aviation Administration, subject to subsection (d), shall continue to pay quarterly retention allowance payments in accordance with subsection (b) to those employees who are entitled to quarterly retention allowance payments under the demonstration project as of June 16, 1994. (b) COMPUTATION RULES. — (1) IN GENERAL.— The amount of each quarterly retention allowance payment to which an employee is entitled under subsection (a) shall be the amount of the last quarterly retention allowance payment paid to such employee under the personnel demonstration project prior to June 17, 1994, reduced by that portion of the amount of any increase in the employee's annual rate of basic pay subsequent to June 17, 1994, from any source, which is allocable to the quarter for which the allowance is to be paid (or, if applicable, to that portion of the quarter for which the allowance is to be paid). For purposes of the preceding sentence, the increase in an employee's annual rate of basic pay includes— (A) any increase under section 5303 of title 5, United States Code; (B) any increase in locality-based comparability pay- ments under section 5304 of such title 5 (except if, or to the extent that, such increase is offset by a reduction of an interim geographic adjustment under section 302 of the Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act of 1990 (5 U.S.C. 5304 note)); (C) any establishment or increase in a special rate of pay under section 5305 of such title 5; (D) any increase in basic pay pursuant to a promotion under section 5334 of such title 5; (E) any periodic step-increase under section 5335 of such title 5; (F) any additional step-increase under section 5336 of such title 5; and (G) any other increase in annual rate of basic pay under any other provision of law. (2) SECTION RULE.— In the case of an employee on leave without pay or other similar status for any part of the quarter prior to June 17, 1994, based on which the amount of the allowance payments for such employee under subsection (a) are computed, the "amount of the last quarterly retention allowance payment paid to such employee under the personnel demonstration project prior to June 17, 1994" shall, for purposes of paragraph (1), be deemed to be the amount of the allowance which would have been payable to such employee for such quarter under such project had such employee been in pay status throughout such quarter. (c) TERMINATION. —An employee's entitlement to quarterly retention allowance payments under this section shall cease when— (1) the amount of such allowance is reduced to zero under subsection (b), or (2) the employee separates or moves to a position in which the employee would not, prior to June 17, 1994, have been entitled to receive an allowance under the demonstration project, whichever is earlier.
