SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Accordingly, page 26487, first column, Sec. 630.1207(j) of the 
final rule published on May 8, 2000, is corrected to read as follows:


Sec. 630.1207  [Corrected]

* * * * *
    (j) At its own expense, an agency may require subsequent medical 
recertification on a periodic basis, but not more than once every 30 
calendar days, for leave taken for purposes relating to pregnancy, 
chronic conditions, or long-term conditions, as these terms are used in 
the definition of serious health condition in Sec. 630.1202. For leave 
taken for all other serious health conditions and including leave taken 
on an intermittent or reduced leave schedule, if the health care 
provider has specified on the medical certification a minimum duration 
of the period of incapacity, the agency may not request recertification 
until that period has passed. An agency may require subsequent medical 
recertification more frequently than every 30 calendar days, or more 
frequently than the minimum duration of the period of incapacity 
specified on the medical certification, if the employee requests that 
the original leave period be extended, the circumstances described in 
the original medical certification have changed significantly, or the 
agency receives information that casts doubt upon the continuing 
validity of the medical certification.
