MAR 984 B-214320 The Honorable William Lehman Chairman, Subcommittee on Transportation Committee on Appropriations House of Representatives 124005 Dear Mr. Chairman: Subject: Review of Studies on Early Retirement of Flight Service Station Specialists; Conference Report No. 97-9601 directed the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to refer to GAO for its evaluation studies on whether flight service station (FSS) specialists should be afforded early retirement benefits currently available to air traffic controllers. In May 1983 the FAA Administrator forwarded to GAO two studies: (1) a November 1981 report prepared by JWK International Corporation for FAA and (2) an April 1982 critique of the JWK study prepared by Ruttenberg, Friedman, Kilgallon & Associates, Inc. (RFKA), at the request of the National Association of Air Traffic Specialists. In June 1983 we agreed with your office to review the validity of the methodology and data analysis presented in the two studies. Our work was based solely on information presented in the studies, and we did not attempt to independently validate whether FSS specialists should or should not be afforded early retirement. In September 1983, we discussed the results of our evaluation of the studies with your office. This letter summarizes the information presented at that briefing. lConference Report No. 97-960, Making Appropriations for the Department of Transportation and Related Agencies for the Fiscal Year ending September 30, 1983, and for Other Purposes, December 13, 1982.
