MATTER OF: NASA employees - compensation - administratively
              determined rates

 DIGEST:   1. NASA  emplcyees, whose rates of pay are
              established under 42 U.S.C. § 2473(c)(2),
              claim compensation at maximum rate of
              General Schedule instead of at lower rates
              set by NASA. Employees  contend that they
              wotdd have earned $47, 500 in, General Sched-
              ule pdsitions they held prior to appointment
              to NASA's excepted service. Claims are
              denied since employees are entitled only to
              salaries of excepted positions held and such
              salaries have no relation to General Schedule
              salaries except that the maximum rates pay-
              able may not exceed highest rate for GS-18.

          2.  NASA employees holding positidns in NASA's
              excepted service claim compensation at rate
              of $47, 500 rather than lower rates set by
              NASA.  They contend that individuals holding
              positions with same titles in other offices with-
              in NASA are compensated at $47, 500. Cla'us
              are dehied sin-e NASA's pay-setting authority
              at 42 U.S.C. -. 2473(c)(2) permits pay distinc-
              tions bascd ea individual resp~onsibilities,
              competence, and contributions rather than on
              or' anizationual level.


   By letter dated August 24, 1977, 11 employees of the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) submitted claims
for the difference between'their rates of pay and $47, 5' retro-
actively' to Feabruary 20, 1077. The claimants are Mesars. M. J.
Aucremanne,  W. E. Brunk, L. 13. C. Fdng, M. L. Garbacz,
E. W. Glahn, S. 11. Hubbard, F, D. Kochendorfer, J. Lehmann,
J. D. Rfosnbert, E. I1 Schierling, and I. Tepper. They hold
excepted positions and their compensation is fixed under the pro-
visions of section 203(b) of the National Aeronautics and Space Act
of 1958, as amended, now codified as 42 U.S.C. § 2473(c)(2), by
section 4 of Iub. L, 03-400, September 3, 1974, 88 Stat. 1070.
