What the document says
“of which up to $33,000,000 may be for calendar year 2025 premium pay in excess of the annual equivalent of the limitation on the rate of pay contained in section 5547(a) of title 5, United States Code”
Part of the same account paragraph. Up to $33,000,000 may be used for calendar year 2025 premium pay above the annual cap in section 5547(a) of title 5, using the authority in section 2 of the Overtime Pay for Protective Services Act of 2016 as last amended by Public Law 118-38.
What the document actually says
“of which up to $33,000,000 may be for calendar year 2025 premium pay in excess of the annual equivalent of the limitation on the rate of pay contained in section 5547(a) of title 5, United States Code”
That sentence, in plain words
Up to $33,000,000 may pay for extra hours in 2025. That pay goes above the normal yearly cap.
What this is about
There is a limit on how much extra pay a worker may draw in a year. Agents on long details hit it. This lifts the limit for some of them.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
