Highlights
An authorized certifying officer of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) requested an advance decision concerning whether the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 5363 limit the annual rate of basic pay which NOAA sets for its crews of vessels under 5 U.S.C. 5348 (Supp. V). Since pay for crews of vessels is fixed by administrative action, it is subject to section 5363 and may not exceed the rate for grade GS-18.
