Sec. 6391. Authority for leave transfer program in disasters and 
        emergencies
        
    (a) For the purpose of this section--
        (1) ``employee'' means an employee as defined in section 
    6331(1); and
        (2) ``agency'' means an Executive agency.

    (b) In the event of a major disaster or emergency, as declared by 
the President, that results in severe adverse effects for a substantial 
number of employees, the President may direct the Office of Personnel 
Management to establish an emergency leave transfer program under which 
any employee in any agency may donate unused annual leave for transfer 
to employees of the same or other agencies who are adversely affected by 
such disaster or emergency.
    (c) The Office shall establish appropriate requirements for the 
operation of the emergency leave transfer program under subsection (b), 
including appropriate limitations on the donation and use of annual 
leave under the program. An employee may receive and use leave under the 
program without regard to any requirement that any annual leave and sick 
leave to a leave recipient's credit must be exhausted before any 
transferred annual leave may be used.
    (d) A leave bank established under subchapter IV may, to the extent 
provided in regulations prescribed by the Office, donate annual leave to 
the emergency leave transfer program established under subsection (b).
    (e) Except to the extent that the Office may prescribe by 
regulation, nothing in section 7351 shall apply to any solicitation, 
donation, or acceptance of leave under this section.
    (f) The Office shall prescribe regulations necessary for the 
administration of this section.
