B-167022, June 18, 1969, and similar decisions will no longer be followed. On behalf of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) employees assigned to the NOAA Ship DISCOVERER, the Acting General Counsel of the Department of Commerce on December 10, 1975, requested reconsideration of cur decisions B-167022, June 18, 1969, and July 26, 1971. The request was made because the horne port of the DISCOVERER was changed from Miami, Florida, to Seattle, Washington, while the ship was at Seattle and the cited decisions would prevent the travel of the crew at Government expense to their old station to attend to the personal business of moving their families and household goods to the new station. By Public Law No. 93-322 funds were appropriated to be used for reactivation and equipment costs associated with placing the deactivated NCAA Ship DISCOVERER back in service. The DISCOVERER, then home ported in Miami, Florida, underwent reactivation at Norfolk, Virginia, and on March 24, 1975, pro- ceeded to Seattle, Washington, and thence to the Bering Sea to conduct enerey related research. The reactivated ship was manned by officers and crew members from both the Miami and Norfolk areas. On July 3, 1975, the Director of the National Ocean Survey directed a change in the DISCOVEPER's home port from Miami to Seattle effective August 31, 1975. Although the vessel is itself technically designated as the permanent duty station of its officers and crew, NOAA considers the home port of the vessel
