detail employees to international organizations, and protecting
the Federal employment rights of such employees.
On August 28, 1958, Congress enacted the Federal Employees
International Organization Service Act (FEIOSA), Pub. L. 85-795,
72 Stat. 959, to encourage and authorize details and transfers of
Federal employees for service with international organizations.
This act is now codified at 5 U.S.C. secs. 3343, 3581-3584
(1994). Section 3584 of Title 5 provided the President with the
authorization to prescribe regulations necessary to carry out the
provisions governing the detail and transfer of employees to
international organizations. In 1970, the President delegated to
the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) the authority granted
him by 5 U.S.C. sec. 3584.
3. Details and Transfers to International Organizations
Section 3343 of Title 5 addresses details, and 5 U.S.C.
secs. 3581-3584 address transfers to international organizations.
An international organization is defined as a public
international organization in which the Government of the United
States participates. An agency may detail or transfer an
employee without prior approval of OPM if an organization is
already designated as a qualifying international organization.
NATO is listed as one such qualifying international organization.
