D, o 9 0643 FILI 13-202845 O ATSp: September 29, 1982 MATTM1 OF: Expennes of Outside Applicant/ Complainant to Travel to Aglency EEO Hearing DIGEST: In the absence of specific auithocity therefoc, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, may not pay in advance the travel expenses of an outside applicant/complainant to attend an equal employment oppor- tunity hearing requested by the com- plainant. This action is in response to a 'request by the then Acting Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Administration) as to whether the Administration may properly pay in advance the travel expenses of an outside applicant/complainant to attend an equal employment opportunity hearing which has been requested by the complainant. For the reasons set forth below, we f'nd no basis upon which the Administra- tion may authorize the complainant's travel to the hearing at Government expense. The Administration has advised that it has been charged with discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, codified at 42 U.S.C. s5 2000e et seg. by an applicant for a posi- tion with the Adminlhtration's headquarters office in Washington, D.C. The unsuccessful applicant, an employee with the Los Angeles Regional Office oL the Equal Employmvent Opportunity Commission (Commission) has requested an administrative hearing on her complaint which has been appropriately scheduled foL Washington, D.C. The Administration informs us that it has been advised by the Commission that the Administration would be responsible for the payment of the complainant's travel expenses to the hearing on the-discrimination complainb. The Administration states that neither its enabling legislation nor its appropriation act authorizes such use of appropriated funds and that the Federal Travel Regulations (FPMR 101-7) do not provide for agencies to assume such costs.
