DIGEST;


Employee of Ftsh and Wildlife Service

accordance with 53 Comp, Gen, 216
(1973) after agency reclassification
agtion. Agency requirememt that

 in Settlement Certificate Not Z-2830458, issued July 9,
 1981, which denied his claim for a retroactive promotion
 and backpay based on an agency reclassification action,
 For the reasons stated herein, we find that Mr. Stover's
 claim may be allowed and the action of our Claims Group
 is reversed,

     The record ehows that on August 7, 1980, Mr. Stayer,
a Special Agent/Pilot (Wildlife), GS-1812-11, with the
Division of Law Enforcement, Fish and Wildlife Service
(FWS), United States Department of the Interior, filed a
classification appeal with the Office of Personnel Manage-
ment (OPM). Subsequently, OPM requested information from
FWS regarding Mr. Stover's position. This request was for-
warded to the appropriate FWS regional personnel office.
Because there was no evaluation statement for Mr. Stover's
GS-11 position, a new Position Description, No. 59100-5t
was prepared. Position Description No. 59100-5, Special
Agent/Pilot (Wildlife), GS-1812, was classified at grade
GS-12 on September 8, 1980, by the regional classification
officer. A request for personnel action to promote
