  MATTER OF:     David D. Reckard - Claim For Travel
                 Expenses and Overtime Compensation

  DIGEST:
        1. An employee was transferred to a new
            duty station for 14 months during
            the resolution of his grievance on a
            prior improper transfer. The employee
            alleges that the agency delayed pro-
            cessing his grievance in violation
            of its own procedures, and that,
            therefore, he is entitled to tempo-
            rary duty allowances for his assign-
            ment at the new duty station. Matters
            relating to grievances are within the
            jurisdiction of the agency and the
            Office of Personnel Management, and
            will not be considered by this Office.
            In any event, corrective action on the
            employee's grievance did not change
            his duty status from permanent to
            temporary, and he may not be paid
            temporary duty allowances.

        2. An employee claims overtime compensa-
            tion for the relocation travel he
            performed on a Sunday in order to
            report to his new duty station on
            Monday morning. The time the employee
            spent in a travel status does not
            qualify as compensable overtime under
            5 U.S.C. S 5542, since his travel did
            not result from an administratively
            uncontrollable event.

     Ms. Barbara P. Pomeroy, Comptroller of the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF), Department
of the Treasury, requests our decision on the claim of
Mr. David D. Reckard, an employee of BATF. Mr. Reckard
claims temporary duty allowances associated with his trans-
fer to a new permanent duty station pending the resolution
of his grievance on a prior improper transfer. Also,
