We find that the regulation is consistent with the statute and is authorized by the statutory provision which empowers C¶C by regulation to exclude such othor employees as it may designate. Mr. James M. Peirce, President of the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE), has requested a decision on the validity of Civil Service Commission (CSC) regulations, con- tained in 5 C.F.R. f 550.701(b)(6), that preclude the payment of severance pay to Federal employers in certain situations. The NFFE states that some Department of Defense activities have begun to contract out to privata organizations ertain operation and maintenance responsibilities heretofore performed by Federal employees. The NFFE contends that employees ter- minated in such situations should be entitled to severance pay under 5 U.S.C. 5 5595(b) which provides as follows: (b) Under regulations prescribed by the President or such officer or agency as he may designate, an employee who-- (1) has been employed currently for a continuous period of at least 12 months; and (2) is involuntarily separated from the service, not by removal for cause r.n charges of misconduct, delinquency. or inefficiency; is entitled Lo be paid severance pay in regular pay periods by the agency from which separated. *1 9- - * THE COMPTROLLEF GENERAL DECISION * OF THE UNITUC STATEE 9WASHINGTON.
