George Businean Manager and Financial Secretary Local Union 570 International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers 150 South Tucson Boulevard Tucson, Arizona 35716 7; ' flrfl t4) I . I.' Zi~A4l Dear Mr. George: I refer to yo'vr letter of November 29, 1979, concerning the applicability of decision 8-193326, February 1, 1979, 50 Comp. Gen. 251, to an agreement negotiated between the International Brotherhood of Electrical Worker (ImEW), Local 570, and the Departmnnt of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs, San Caclos Irrigation Project. You state that the rates of pay negotiated onii'ohalf of the enployees of the Son Carlos Irrigation Project by Lccal 570, are based on the prevailing rate. Your enclosures indicate, however, that the wages negotiated by Local 570 have been declared subject by Department of the Interior officials to a 5.5 percent pay cap for flscal year 1979 and a 7 percent pay cap for fiscal year 1980# Accordingly, you request a written clarificatfon of the applicability of section 9(b) of Public Law 92-392, August 19, 1972, to a 7 percent wage increase negotiated for the employees of the San Carlos Irritation Project. The legal basic for the Department's application of a pay cap to the San Carlos Irrigation Project employees is not cited. Section 614(a) of Public Law 95-429, Octobet 10, 1970, did impose a 5.5 parcent pay cap on ceritain Federal employees. If, however, the employees of the San Carlos Irrigation Project do have their wages negotiated under section 9(b) of Public Law 92-392, then section 614(a) of Public Law 95-429 would uppear to have no application to them. 58 Comp. Gen. 251 (1979). A. 1 4 1 [ Iv 'K; .0 I v 1~ ~f 4<l ,C) b 1 4? I .
