APR2 51985 Ms. Leslie El-Almin  :

Retirement Claims Division  !

l 4 Special Inquiry Branch ,i Office of Personnel Management i, 1900 E Street, N.W.

Washington, D.C. 20415

Dear Ms..El-Almtn:

Enclosed are two positions: '(1) Director, Office of Investigations, (OI)

(SES-1811), and the Deputy Director, 01 (SES-1811), which the Agency has determined meet the retirement eligibility provisions of 5 USC 8336(c)(1).

Since these positions have never been submitted to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for concurrence, we ask you to review them and advise us in writing of OPM's decision. We believe these positions would f all under the secondary / administrative category.

01 was specifically established as an independent investigative unit within the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to conduct investigations into allegations of " wrongdoing"'by licensees, their contractors, vendors and license applicants, so virtually all 01 investigations involve ostensible criminal violations. Therefore, criminal investigative experience and knowledge are basic qualifications for both positions.

The Director, assisted by the Deputy Director, manage, supervise, and administer the entire investigations program within the purview of the Office. Additionally, all of our primary 1811 investigator positions in 01 have been approved under the 6(c) provision.

As stated, the position descriptions are enclosed for your review and approval.

If additional information is needed please call Susan Dickerson on my staff on 492-9500.

Sincerely,

,M+ ., . , - > . ,
