7. There are timekeeper categories for "Holidays" for "Holiday" leave

which would be the now 11 "official" (by law, NOT Executive Order) "holidays".

When you have your GS-1000s and/or the Presidents approving leave (and the GS-1000s can do up to 2 hours), then it is usually coded as "Administrative Leave".

(back when I was a supervisor with direct reports, I had to sign off (manually in the old days and electronically later) on their leave slips & time cards every 2 weeks (for each pay period) and all of us supervisors were backups for others and had backups for ourselves, to sign off on our direct report time cards if we were not available & ETA to note that if someone is actually working on a "holiday" as coded, they get what amounts to "double time"/"holiday pay" by law)
