PART 550--PAY ADMINISTRATION (GENERAL)--Table of Contents

Sec. 550.183  Substantial hours requirement.

    (a) A criminal investigator shall be eligible for availability pay 
only if the annual average number of hours of unscheduled duty per 
regular workday is 2 hours or more, as certified in accordance with 
Sec. 550.184. This average is computed by dividing the total unscheduled 
duty hours for the annual period (numerator) by the number of regular 
workdays (denominator).
    (b) For the purpose of this section, regular workday means each day 
in the criminal investigator's basic workweek during which the 
investigator works at least 4 hours, excluding--
    (1) Overtime hours compensated under 5 U.S.C. 5542 and Sec. 550.111;
    (2) Unscheduled duty hours compensated by availability pay under 5 
U.S.C. 5545a and this subpart; and
    (3) Hours during which an investigator is engaged in agency-approved 
training, is traveling under official travel orders, is on approved 
leave, or is on excused absence with pay (including paid holidays).
    (c) In computing average hours under paragraph (a) of this section, 
the total unscheduled duty hours in the numerator shall include--
    (1) Any unscheduled duty hours on a regular workday; and
    (2) Any unscheduled duty hours actually worked by an investigator on 
days that are not regular workdays.
