MATTER OF;


Edward


C. Biewald - Retroactive promotion


DIGEST;


1. A developmental air traffic controller,
    GS-9, step i, transferred through the
    Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
    Merit Promotion Program to another duty
    station which had a full performance
    level of GS-12,  The FAA required that
    the employee complete the training and
    facility qualification requirements at
    the new station, in addition to meeting
    the time-in-grade requirement, before
    he could be promoted to the developmen-
    • al grade of GS-Il, Tile employee claims
    that the FAA committed an administrative
    error since an FAA regulation required
    the agency to promote him to the GS-Il
    position when he met the time-in-grade
    requirements even though he had not
    fulfilled the training and faeillity
    qualification reqdirements. The cited
    regulation doeu not require the FAA to
    promote the employee in this situation,
    and, therefore, his claim is denied.
2. A developmental air traffic controller,
    GS-9, step 2, who had been transferred
    pursuant to FAA's 14erit Promotion
    Program to another duty station, but
    failed to complete the training and
    facility requirements at the new sta-
    tion, requested and received astrans-
    fer back to his original duty stat.ion
    at the same grade, GS-9, step 2,
    The employee contends that the FAA
    committed an administrative error by
    failing to promote him upon his trans-
    fer back since an FAA regulation
    required such a promotion.  However,
    regulation cited only covers employees
    who upon transfer have been demoted,
    and since the employee was not demoted,
    FAA did not commit: an administrative
    error and the claim for a retroactive
    promotion is denied.
