# §630.1601. Purpose and applicability.

- (a) This subpart implements [5 U.S.C. 6329c](/usc/5/6329c.md), which allows an agency to provide a separate type of paid leave when weather or other safety-related conditions prevent employees from safely traveling to or safely performing work at an approved location due to an act of God, terrorist attack, or other applicable condition. [Section 6329c(d)](/cfr/5/6329c.md?p=d) directs OPM to prescribe regulations to carry out the statutory provisions on weather and safety leave, including regulations on the appropriate uses and the proper recording of this leave.
- (b) This subpart applies to an employee as defined in [5 U.S.C. 2105](/usc/5/2105.md) who is employed in an agency, but does not apply to an intermittent employee who, by definition, does not have an established regular tour of duty during the administrative workweek.
- (c) As provided in [5 U.S.C. 6329c(e)](/usc/5/6329c.md?p=e), this subpart applies to employees described in [subsection (b)](#b) of [38 U.S.C. 7421](/usc/38/7421.md), notwithstanding subsection (a) of that section.
