        B-182695
MATTER OF:


DIGEST:


Horace M. Thorne-Overtime-Compensatory Time-
Position Classification


               Employee claims overtime pay in lieu
               of compensatory time and questions the
               classification of his position. Since
               Civil Service Commission determinations
               on classification appeals are binding on
               this Office under section 5 U.S.C.
               a 5112(a) (1970), GAO has no authority
               to determine position classifications or
               to modify agency or Commission classifi-
               cation actions. With respect to overtime,
               employee's position of Project Analyst
               GS-301-12 was determined by his agency and
               the Comnission to be exempt from Fair Labor
               Standards Act. Under discretionary authority
               of 5 U.S.C. 5543(a), agency policy provides
               compensatory timU rather than pay for
               authorized overtime for employees above grade
               GS-10, step 10.

     This action concerns an appeal by Mr. Horace H. Thorne from
the disallowance of his claim for 8 hours overtime compensation
for work performed on May 4, 1974, in lieu of 8 hours of compen-
satory time authorized by his agency, the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare (HEW), Office of Education, as set forth in
Settlement Certificate of September 11, 1974, issued by our
Transportation and Claims Division. Mr. Thorne seeks an expla-
nation and justification for the application of Public Laws
93-259, 80-617, and 93-112, Section 501 to his position and to
the 8 hours overtime that he worked on May 4, 1974. Additionally,
he asks for a determination of whether his position at the Office
of Education is a Project Analyst, GS-301-12, or a GS-1720-13,
Education Program Specialist, and thus a professional position.
