Never mind I was wrong. Bush did declare a federal holiday for Reagan. But feel free to answer :)

It really isn't a "holiday," it's a National Day of Mourning. Federal offices are closed, but county, state and local offices are open.
The National Day of Mourning may be a "federal" holiday because it followed a National Holiday (Jan. 1).

They do the same thing when every president dies (i am pretty sure) Today will not be a federal holiday, its just federal buildings are closed for the funeral. Its not a permenant thing, its just in observance of the state funeral.

There was also a national day of mourning when Reagan died.
