          of the United States

          Decision



                     Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board -
           Matter of Compensation of Members

           File:     B-230685

           Date:     October 6, 1988


           DIGEST

           Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board members may be
           paid for a full day while on Board business regardless of
           the hours worked since the enabling statute does not provide
           for any other terms of reimbursement except for the daily
           rate of basic pay for grade GS-18 of the General Schedule.


           DECISION

           The Executive Director, Federal Retirement Thrift Investment
           Board, requests a decision on the issue of whether Thrift
           Board members may be paid for a full day while on Board
           business regardless of the hours worked. We conclude that
           the members may be reimbursed for the whole day since the
           enabling statute specifically provides for pay on a daily
           basis.

           BACKGROUND

           The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board was
           established under the provisions of the Federal Employees'
           Retirement System Act of 1986, Pub. L. No. 99-335, 100 Stat.
           517 (1986), 5 U.S.C. SS 8401-8479 (Supp. IV 1986).
           The primary purpose of the Board is to administer the
           Thrift Savings Plan provisions of the Act. 5 U.S.C.
           S 8472(f).

           Compensation for each member of the Board who is not an
           officer or employee of the federal government is set at the
           daily rate of basic pay for grade GS-18 of the General
           Schedule for each day the member is engaged in performing a
           function of the Board. 5 U.S.C. S 8476(d)(1).
