          enlistment applied for a position as air
          traffic controller specialist at the Alaskan
          Regional Office of the Civil Service Commission.
          He was subsequently appointed to that position
          from the local register as a local hire, and was
          advised that he was ineligible for tour renewal
          agreement travel.-Sinc-esection 1.12c(3) OMB
          Circular A-56 (now para. 2.1-5h(3)(B)$Federal
          Travel Regulations) permit/ agencies to deny
          such travel to locally hired employees who are
          otherwise eligible aad since the claimant was

          would not be entitled to sucn travel, the
          claim i.s denied.

claim for tour renewal agreement travel expenses for travel
from Anchorage, Alaska, to Victorville, California, in
the amount of $1,974.30.

the appointment states that Mr. Milazzo was a local hire
and that he was not eligible for an employment agreement.

     On March 9, 1975, Mr. Milazzo formally requested travel
orders for tour renewal agreement travel. His request was

hired from a Civil Service Commission certificate listing
