           Robert J. Miranda - Hazardous Duty Differential
Materot    Pay
Fi :       B-236269

Due:       November 16, 1989


01IGST

An employee whose duties required him to be at a construc-
tion site to monitor the activities of construction workers
appeals an agency action disallowing his claim for hazardous
duty pay. The agency determined that the duty was not
hazardous.   The employing agency has primary responsibility
to determine entitlement to hazardous duty pay under
5 U.S.C. S 5545(d). The Comptroller General will not
overturn an agency's action unless its determination was
clearly erroneous, or arbitrary or capricious.     Since we
cannot so conclude here, the agency's action is sustained.


DOCTIION

This decision is in response to Mr. Robert J. Miranda's
appeal of our Claims Group Settlement Z-2866193, Apr. 17,
1989, which disallowed his claim for hazardous duty
differential pay.   We sustain that disallowance for the
reasons set forth below.

BACKGROUND

Mr. Robert J. Miranda was employed as a technical security
officer, GS-12, by the Central Intelligence Agency.     During
the period July 21, 1986, throuqh July 7, 1987, he performed
his duties at the construction site of its new office
building in Langley, Virqinia. By his own description of
duties, he was required to monitor the activities of the
workers on the construction site on a full-time basis.

Based on the circumstances under which his duty was
performed, the agency concluded that his work was such that
he did not qualify for hazardous duty differential pay.     On
submission of a claim here, our Claims Group upheld the
agency's position.
