Comments:

You state that the process regarding how DoD sets the rate of basic pay prospectively for an employee who returns to duty after a period of receiving a jury compensation under 5 USc 81, subchapter 1 (in a LWOP status or as a spearated employee) will be defined at a later date in an issuance or policy from the DoD in 9901.342(g). Why isn't this process defined now and published in the Federal Register? Why did the DoD publish a proposal that isn't fully defined? Is the intent of the DoD to publish issuances at a later date so that these issuances do not have Congressional oversight and employee representation?
