                B-248893.2



                August 29, 1995



                Mr. John E. Higgins, Jr.
                Acting Inspector General
                National Labor Relations Board
                Washington, DC 20570-0001

                Dear Mr. Higgins:

                This responds to letters of July 12 and August 22, 1994, from your office requesting
                an opinion concerning the travel and relocation claims submitted by a National
                Labor Relations Board (NLRB) employee, Mr. D. Randall Frye, incident to his
                transfer from Washington, D.C., to Cincinnati, Ohio. You present certain facts your
                office has developed in an investigation of this matter and ask for our views as to
                whether Mr. Frye's claims are proper under the Federal Travel Regulation (FrR).'

                The information and documents provided to us show the following. By
                memorandum of July 3, 1990, the NLRB General Counsel announced that he had
                appointed Mr. Frye as Acting Deputy General Counsel effective immediately.
                Request for Personnel Action (SF 52) forms in the file show that this was
                accomplished by detailing Mr. Frye from his position as Assistant General Counsel
                in the agency's Division of Operations Management to the Deputy position in the
                Office of the General Counsel. Both positions were in the Senior Executive Service
                (SES) and both were located in Washington, D.C.

                The detail was terminated effective August 11, 1990, and effective August 12, 1990,
                the General Counsel appointed Mr. Frye Regional Director of Region 9, which is an
                SES position located in Cincinnati, Ohio. However, he apparently did not begin


                'Related questions were submitted to us for decision by the NLRB Director of
                Administration in May 1992. However, upon being advised of the then on-going
                Inspector General investigation of the matter, we declined to render a decision at
                that time.

                                                                                         117831
