In fiscal year 2001, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) spent more than $15 million to move air traffic controllers (who are responsible for controlling the takeoff, landing, and ground movement of planes) and their managers (who oversee and administer the air traffic control program) to new permanent duty locations. FAA classifies the funds that it spends for these moves as permanent change of station (PCS) benefits. In 1998, as part of a broader effort to reform its personnel policies, FAA changed its policies on PCS benefits. Instead of fully reimbursing the costs of all PCS moves and prohibiting unfunded PCS moves, as it once did, FAA now determines the amount of PCS benefits to be offered on a position-by-position basis. Under its new policies, FAA can fully reimburse the costs of a move if it determines that the move is in the interest of the government, or it can offer partial (fixed) relocation benefits if it determines that the agency will derive some benefit from the move. Under the new policy, employees and managers can now also move at their own expense. We examined the impact of these changes in PCS policies on FAA's Air Traffic Services organization.
