PUBLIC LAW 94-356—JULY 12, 1976 may, in addition to all other compensation to which he is entitled, be paid an annual bonus in an amount not to exceed $4,000 for each nuclear service year beginning after September 30, 1975, and ending before October 1, 1981. In order to be eligible for an annual bonus for any nuclear service year in accordance with this subsection, an otherwise qualified officer must have been on active duty on the last day of that nuclear service year. The amount of the annual bonus to which an officer would otherwise be entitled for a nuclear service year in accordance with this subsection shall be reduced on a pro rata basis for each day of that nuclear service year on which he was not on active duty; was not qualified for duty in connection with the supervision, operation, and maintenance of naval nuclear propulsion plants; was performing obligated service as the result of an activeservice agreement executed under section 312 of this title; or was entitled to receive aviation career incentive pay in accordance with section 301a of this title: Provided, That— "(1) in the case of an officer with more than ten, but not more than eighteen, years of commissioned service, the amount of that annual bonus shall be further reduced on a pro rata basis for any other day or days in that nuclear service year which, when added to the immediately preceding days in and before that nuclear service year, total more than three consecutive years in an assignment other than an assignment to duty on a naval vessel; duty with a nuclear ship operational command staff; duty directly involving the training of others leading to their qualification for duty in connection with the supervision, operation, and maintenance of naval nuclear propulsion plants; or duty in connection with a nuclear propulsion examining board; "(2) in the case of an officer with more than eighteen, but not more than twenty-five, years of commissioned service, the amount of that annual bonus shall be further reduced on a pro rata basis for any other day or days in that nuclear service year on which he was not in an assignment involving the direct supervision, operation, or maintenance of naval nuclear propulsion plants, except that in the case of an officer who, during that nuclear service year, completed his eighteenth year of commissioned service, the amount of that annual bonus shall not be reduced for any day before the end of that eighteenth year which would have been creditable for determining the amount of the annual bonus at the end of that nuclear service year for an officer with more than ten, but not more than eighteen, years of commissioned service; and "(3) in the case of an officer with more than twenty-five, but not more than twenty-six, years of commissioned service, the amount of that annual bonus shall be further reduced on a pro rata basis for any other day or days in that nuclear service year on which he was not in an assignment with duties involving the direct supervision, operation, or maintenance of naval nuclear propulsion plants, and for every day in that nuclear service year after the end of his twenty-fifth year of commissioned service.
