      Dear  Mr. lollin:

            Reference is  made to your  recent letters  requesting
       reconsideration  of our Claims  Division's denial  of the claim  of
       Mv. Mary K. Unelar  for attorney  fees (Claim  No. Z-2822004).   Since
       your request cotutitutes  an appeal  from a prior  determination  by
       our Claims Division,  this case  has been referred  to this Office
       for review.

            This claim  is for attorney  fees under  the authority of  the
       Back Pay Act of  1966, 5 U.S.C.  5 5596, as amended  by the Civil
       Service Reform  Act of 1978.  The  Office of Personnel  Management
       (OPM) recently  issued proposed  regulations  to implement these
       amendments to  the Back Pay Act,  and these proposed  regulations
       appear in 45 Fed.  Reg. 7263 (February  1, 1980).   Since this  claim
       appears to fall within  the acope  of these regulations,  we intend
       LO hold this claim  in abeyance  until final regulations  are issued
       by OPM.  At that  time we wilt consider  the matter  further and
       advise you of our  decision as; soon as possible.

                                           Sincerely yours,

                                       7~t&(4


                                           Michael R. Volpe
                                           Attorney-Adviser
