Comments:

You state that the process regarding how DoD sets the rate of basic pay prospectively for an employee who leaves a DoD position to perform service in the uniformed services and returns through the exercise of a reemployement right provided by law, executive order, or regulation under which accrual of service for seniority-related benefits is protected will be defined at a later date in an issuance or policy from the DoD in 9901.342(f). 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?
