MATTER OF:


artin B. Bennett - Detail to higher graded
position


   DIGEST:   Gradq GS-!l investigator with the Food and
             Drug Administration (FDA) was assigned as
             Acting Supervisory Inspoctor of the ?roduct
             Safety Group in May 1973, but effect;%ve
             June 10, 1973, employee and his group were
             transferred from FDA to Consumer Product
             Safety Commission (cPSc), On and after that
             date employee continued to perform saime
             supervisory duties at CPSC until Febrllary 1,
             1974.  Employee'slaclaim for retroactive tem-
             porary promotion and backpay for overlong
             detail uinder Turner-Caldwell dqfwision is
             denied,   It has not been shown that a higher
             graded position had been established at FDA
             or CPSC prior to October 11, 1973, After
             that date the period the employee was de-
             tailed to the established, higher graded
             position did not exceed 120 days.
                             1%
     In this decision we ax% considering the appeal by
Mr. Martin D. Bennett of our Claims Group's denial of his
claim for a retroactive temporary promotion and baacpay
based on our Turner-Caldwell decisions, 55 Comp. Gen, 539
(1975), and 56 id. 427 (-1977). We held in our Turher-
Caldwell decisions that employees officially detailed to
established higher level positionti for more than ' .?O days
without prior Civil SQrvice commission approval are (ntitled
to retroactive temporary promotions with bac-pay beginning
with the 121st day of the detail until the detail is ter-
minated. We here sustain the Claims Group's disallowance
since we hold that Mr. Beuinett has failed to prove that he
was detailed to an established, higher graded position for
more than 120 days.
     The administrative record shows that on May 21, 1973,
Mr. Bennett, who was then a grade GS-lI investigator working
for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), was assigned as
Acting Supervisory Inspector of the Product Safety Group
formed within the New York District of the FDA.  Effective,
June 10, 1973, Mr. Bennett and his group were transferred
