Luizzi File: B-225013 Date: October 28, 1987 DIGEST On September 8, 1982, 5 U.S.C. § 5728 was amended to restrict tour renewal travel for employees assigned to Alaska and Hawaii to situations in which travel was necessary to recruit or retain an employee for a tour of duty in Alaska or Hawaii. That statute and the implement- ing regulations now provide that only employees who have been continuously stationed in Alaska and Hawaii on and since September 8, 1982, may retain unrestricted tour renewal travel rights. Under the plain terms of the appli- cable statute and regulations three civilian employees of the Air Force who were recruited for an assignment in Hawaii prior to September 1982 but who were later reassigned away from Hawaii and were not stationed in Hawaii on September 8, 1982, did not retain the unrestricted renewal travel entitlements when they subsequently returned to Hawaii in 1983. DECISION Messrs. Joseph J. Wuscher, Robert J. Rosen, and Sebastian P. Luizzi each claim entitlement to additional paid Renewal Agreement Travel in connection with their civilian employ- ment with the Department of the Air Force. We have con- cluded that their claims may not be allowed. BACKGROUND Tour renewal travel for Federal employees stationed overseas is authorized by 5 U.S.C. § 5728. Implement- ing regulations applicable to civilian employees of the Department of the Air Force are found at paragraph C4150 et s of Volume 2 of the Joint Travel Regulations T2 T.
