        B-201702                                September 14, 1981




        Mr. George B. Fineberg, Chief
        Financial Systems Division, AAA 400
        Office of Accounting
        Federal Aviation Administration
        Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center
        Post Office Box 25082
        Oklahoma City, Oklahoma  73125

        Dear Mr. Fineberg:

             This refers to your letter  in which you requested
        that we review your computations of  the equalization
        allowance payable to employees of the  Federal Aviation
        Administration (FAA) on their reemployment  after being
        employed by an international organization  under 5 U.S.C.
        3581-3584.  You ask if these computations  are correct
        and if not whether the FAA should take corrective  action
        on a retroactive basis.  If computations made  in the past
        were erroneous, you ask whether any resulting  overpayments
        may be waived, presumably under 5 U.S.C.  5584.

             While this is not a decision of the Comptroller
        General, we will try to provide  information which will
        assist you in this matter.

             Under subchapter IV, chapter 35, of  title 5, United
        States Code, an employee who transfers  from an agency to
        an international organization has certain  rights, including
        reemployment.  Further, he is entitled  to an equalization
        allowance under 5 U.S.C. 3582(b), equal  to the difference
        between pay and allowances he receives  from an international
        organization and that he would have received  had he remained
        employed with the agency and been detailed  to the interna-
        tional organization.  That section provides  that the amount
        payable will be equal to the difference  between the pay,
        allowances, post-differentials and other monetary  benefits
        paid by the international organization  and the pay, allow-
        ances, post-differential, and other monetary  benefits that
        would have been paid by the agency had  he been detailed
        to the international organization under  5 U.S.C. 3343.
