An act to authorize the voluntary interservice transfer of officers between the commissioned corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Armed Forces, to authorize advance payments of pay and allowances to officers of such corps under the the same conditions that apply to advance payments to members of the Armed Forces, and to provide officers of such corps the same unemployment compensation benefits that apply to members of the Armed Forces.

Summary

Authorizes the President to: (1) transfer and appoint any commissioned officer of the Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (CCNOAA) to any armed force; and (2) transfer and appoint any commissioned officer of an armed force to the CCNOAA. Directs the Secretary of Commerce to work with the Secretary of the department in which the Coast Guard is operating and the Secretary of Defense in establishing procedures for such transfers and appointments. Declares that a transferred officer shall receive credit, for purposes of retirement and pay, for his or her creditable service as of the day before the transfer. Includes the CCNOAA as an "armed force" for purposes of provisions of Federal law governing pay advances to members of the armed forces. Includes service in the CCNOAA as "Federal service" under provisions governing unemployment compensation for ex-servicemen.
