denying the Agency's request for general coverage under section 8336(c) for .
the position, Director, Office of Inspector and Auditor (OIA). .gp OPM'sdenialwasbasedontheircententionthatCriminalInvestigative@owledha -
was not a basic qualification for the position. Such is actually not.tue case --
and we therefore request that you reconsider the initial decision to deny coverage. We do agree that this position, if approved, would fall under the s e condary/__a_dm. i..n.i.s trati v.e _ categgry.

Some of the majordspo?isibiljtiDf the positi as established in 10 CFR 1.30 include: a) conducting facts with regard ~t'o~the .loy.e.s.tigatii.ons_and integrity of all NRC3 pef inspec iousb) tilons; toinvestigating ascertain and possible verify the

The Director, 01A, is considered the Irtspector.Ji eral for the Agency and as such is the Agency official responsible for the i vestigation and elimination of. fraud and_ waste in NRC programs and operations. It is also considered an interdisciplinary position, recognizing qualificat n through one of two /

We feel that both our needs wourd be served under these conditions.
i' With regard to the case of James Cummings, we ask that his service as Director, Office of Inspector and Auditor be covered under 8336(c). He . /
