{"abstract":"The Executive Director of the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board (Board) is amending the regulations on employee elections to contribute to the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) to provide for employee participation in the TSP to begin immediately upon the employee's appointment to a position covered by FERS or CSRS, or an equivalent retirement plan. Beginning July 1, 2001, participants also will be able to transfer into their TSP accounts funds from certain qualified retirement plans or conduit individual retirement accounts (IRAs). In addition, the limitations on employee contributions (as a percentage of basic pay) are phased out over the next 5 years.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL RETIREMENT THRIFT INVESTMENT BOARD","name":"Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board","id":189,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-retirement-thrift-investment-board","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/189","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-retirement-thrift-investment-board"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2001/05/02/01-10962.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":1600,"title":5}],"citation":"66 FR 22088","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"May 2, 2001.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"01-10962","effective_on":null,"end_page":22092,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2001/05/02/01-10962.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/05/02/01-10962/employee-elections-to-contribute-to-the-thrift-savings-plan","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/01-10962?publication_date=2001-05-02","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2001-05-02/01-10962/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":5,"page_views":{"count":130,"last_updated":"2026-10-25 14:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-05-02/pdf/01-10962.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2001-05-02","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2001/05/02/01-10962.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":22088,"subtype":null,"title":"Employee Elections to Contribute to the Thrift Savings Plan","toc_doc":"Employee elections to contribute","toc_subject":"Thrift Savings Plan:","topics":["Government employees","Pensions","Retirement"],"type":"Rule","volume":66}
