FILE:    B-212920              DATE: November 30, 1983

MATTER OF:      Major Gordon F. Lederman, USAF


DIGEST:    Military officer who was not assigned by
           orders to demolition of explosives as his
           primary duty and whose work with explosives
           is not shown to have come within the meaning
           of duty involving demolition of explosives
           under applicable regulations is not entitled
           to hazardous duty incentive pay on the basis
           of working with explosives.

     Major Gordon F. Lederman, United States Air Force,
appeals the April 20, 1983 settlement of the Claims Group
by which his claim for hazardous duty pay was denied.
Upon review of this case, we conclude that Major Lederman
was not entitled to hazardous duty pay during the period
covered by his claim.

                         Background

     Major Lederman claims hazardous duty pay for duty
involving the demolition of explosives from October 1,
1974, through May 31, 1980, in the total amount of
$7,480. During this period he was assigned to the Los
Alamos, New Mexico, Scientific Laboratory and Kirkland
Air Force Base, New Mexico. He has submitted copies of
reports he prepared on his work during this period and
copies of effectiveness reports on his performance which
indicate that he was engaged in research, analysis and
testing of rocket propellants and explosives during the
period. He states that during this period he worked
continually with explosives and experimental ordnance
including hands-on work with explcsives involving
cutting, trimming, assembling, arming and detonating
various explosives systems.

     Major Lederman states that during the period cov-
ered by his claim, he was not an EOD (explosive ord-
nance disposal) officer and he had not been authorized
demolition duty pay. He s3aes he was not aware that he
was entitled to such  .ay until June 1980, when he learned
that other members performing similar work were receiving
tle pay. He indicates tnat at about that time safety
