Platt, 59 Comp, Gon,s699 (1980), held that when an agency issues a vacancy announcement under its Merit Promotion Program such action is a recruitment ac- tion and when an employee transfers pur- suant to such action the transfer should normally be regarded as being in the in- terest of the Government in the absence of agency regulations to the contrary, The commission on Civil Rights requested a review of this decision. On reconsid- eration, we affirm Eugene R. Platt, The Commission did not have-regulatiors on this subject and the Job vacancy announce- ment was unrestricted as to reimbursement, contained no limitations on geographic area of consideration, and did not dif- ferentiate between Commission employees and others as to entitlements, 2. Eugene R. Platt, 59 Comp. Gone 699 (1980) was silent on the question of how agencies may effectuate a policy as to when to autho- rize reimbursement of relocation expenses pursuant to merit promotion transfers. However, otur decision does not preclude the General Services Arministration, the Office of Personnel Management, or the employing agency from issuing regulations on relo- cation expenses and merit promotions stating conditions and factors to be considered in determining whether a transfer is in the interest of the Government. Payment of re- location expenses need not automatically be tied to the existence of a vacancy announce- ment issued pursuant to a Merit Promotion Program.
