1. Reference A requested that I work with the Office of Finance
and/or the Office of Comptroller to develop an analysis of the potential
costs of a change in overtime policy and the Office of the General
Counsel to obtain a current opinion of any new legal ramifications.
2. The 0GC review, copy attached, supports an earlier opinion
that the current overtime policy is legal. It cautions, however, that
an "articulable rationale" should be identified if the eight-hour
donation rule is to remain a part of Agency overtime policy.
3. Neither the Office of Finance nor the Office of the Comptroller
can provide any data base for analyzing potential costs of changing the
policy. As noted in the OP study prepared in May 1977 for EAG review,
no record is maintained in the Agency of uncompensated overtime. The
only way to obtain even a general estimate of it would be to institute
a special off-line time and attendance report for a specific period
of time which, given the cyclical nature of our work, should at a
minimum cover a six-month time frame. It should be noted that all com-
pensated overtime and holiday pay in FY 79 totalled $8,900,000. We

can only guess the costs of a change in the policy to pay directed
overtime to employees in grades above GS-11 but a consistent estimate
has been between one and two million dollars per year.
4. Attached is a staff study on Agency overtime policy. which
we have prepared for the use of the Executive Committee members. It
reviews the history of our policy, discusses rationales for it, and
proposes a change for the future.
