            Mr. James  M. Peirce
            President
            National  Federation of Federal
               Employees

             Dear Mr. Peirce:

                 This  is in answer to your letter of September 26,
            1980,  your reference 64-RE-36, requesting a decision on
            the  entitlement of Harold B. Amick to grade and pay
            retention  under the Civil Service Reform Act.  Since
            the  record is not complete in this case, we are unable
            to  render a decision.  However, we are providing you and
            the  agency (by copy of this letter) with the following
            information  concerning the entitlement of Mr. Amick.

                 Mr.  Amick seeks grade and pay retention under the
             retroactive provisions of section 801(b) of the Civil
             Service Reform Act, Pub. L. No. 95-454, October 13, 1978,
             92 Stat. 1218, 5 U.S.C. § 5362.  There are three issues
             to be considered:  (1) whether Mr. Amick's reduction
             in grade occurred within the time period prescribed by
             the retroactive provisions of section 801(b)(1)(A);
             (2) whether the fact that his appointment after the
             reduction in force was temporary, rather than permanent,
             affects his eligibility; and (3) whether an employee
             separated in a reduction in force and offered an appoint-
             ment of lesser tenure is considerd to be placed as a
             result of reduction-in-force procedures within the
             meaning of section 5362.

                 The  facts are as follows.  Mr. Amick had been
            employed  as a WG-ll, step 5, crane operator at the
            rate of  $8.44 per hour ($17,555.20 per year).
            Effective January  21, 1978, he was separated by a
