Itnitvan, Helen 1. Huilhearn, Hassino J Tocco, Arthur J Iorton, Elvin J, Iforrow, John Brennan, and John E, Zvirblia, employnes of the Defense Supply Agency (DSA), that we reconsider their claims for additional pay for -the porformance of hazardous dutyv The eijht employees involved are assigned by Defense Contract Adminitrition Services Region, Philadelphia, to quality control duties at the I8eilities of Atlas Chemical Industries, Incorporated, a Govern- ment contractor, to assure that amnunition items accepted for th. Government from the contractor meot all contractual requirenento, In requstin the hazardous pay differential for these crployee Mr. Slattery stated in the claim lie submitted to his agency on October 6, 1969, that the employees' apecific dutios on an explosive operating line are to perform inspection of the consecutive steps in the manufacturing of dotonators, primers, fuses, ignitera, boosters, squiba1 leads, e:cploaive misaile bardvare, mnuf cturo of explosive powder, reefor line cutters, actuators, and g generators, Thus it appearu that in performing their duties thesu employoes are ncceoarily exposed or ±u close pro'Jtiity to explosive and incendiary materials which are generally considered to be unstable and highly sensitive. Accordingly, they contend that they are entitled to a hazardous pay differential, Our settlement letters of December 28, 1971, disallowed the employees' 4ain a tating that there is no busis for paymeut of a hazardous pay dif- ferential under 5 U.S.C. 5545(d), attice the hazardous duties of the claimants wore neither irregular nor intarmittjut and since the hazard involved in the performance of their duties appeared to have been a fac- tor in fixing the grade. of their positions rd in determining the neces- wary qualifications for appointment to suph positions. You have taken exeption to the rindirg that the hazard ivolned was or appeared to be a factor tll fixing the ,rades of the employees' pcsitions and request further factual substantiation for this finding.
