OPINION

BRUGGINK, Judge.

This is an action brought under certain provisions of the Federal Employees Pay Act (“Title 5”). 5 U.S.C. §§ 5542, 5545, 5546 (1988). As firefighters, plaintiffs presently receive standby premium pay in lieu of other types of premium pays. 5 U.S.C. § 5545(c)(1); 5 C.F.R. § 550.141 (1990). They contend that the amount of pay they would otherwise receive for dif*583ferent types of premium pay is greater than the standby premium pay they presently receive, and that therefore, pursuant to 5 C.F.R. § 550.142, they should be getting those other premium pays, and not standby pay.
