Third National Collective Bargaining Agreement
ARTICLE 30
Government Housing

SECTION 1. Government housing is defined to be any government-owned or leased employee living quarters administered by the National Weather Service.

SECTION 2. Employees shall share the responsibility for housing areas. Management will provide notice and schedule with employee tenants a reasonable time for entering rental units for the purpose of making routine repairs, general maintenance, inspection and inventory. For the protection of life and property during emergencies (smoke, water, freeze-up, explosion, etc.) access may be without notice. Management will not abuse the right to privacy. Employee tenants will not unreasonably keep authorized management representatives from entering quarters.

SECTION 3. Third Party Relocation

For NWS employees, NOAA will pay the full relocation service company fee for residences whose value does not exceed $200,000 [reference NOAA Travel Handbook 302—12.2(b)]. Where, however, there is "locality pay" (New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc.), or "cost of living allowances" (Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico), NOAA will pay the full relocation service company fee for residences whose value does not exceed $300,000.
