handle is hein.gao/gaobaazms0001 and id is 1 raw text is: REPORT BY THE LWOW Comptroller General OF THE UNITED STATES Development Of The Classification Standard For Flight Service Station Specialists The former Civil Service Commission de- veloped classification standards for air traffic controllers and flight service station special- ists from 1976 to 1978. The standard for flight service station special- ists, issued shortly after the standard for air traffic controllers, was criticized by officials of the Department of Transportation and an employee union. The union believed that the Commission's handling of the flight service station specialists' case was improper and in- consistent, compared with the air traffic con- trollers' case. GAO concludes that the Commission's Stand- ards Division acted consistently in develop- ing the standard and generally followed nor- mal procedures. Although it was not routine for Commissioners to get involved in the classification process, it was within their authority to intervene directly in the decision- making process and overrule or sustain the Standards Division's actions. \(D T 109957 JULY 25, 1979 FPCD-79-52 kQI 10,
