Actions and determinations by the Postmaster General under this subsection shall be final and conclusive until changed by him.

"(c) When required by the Postmaster General, a postmaster at a fourth-class office shall, and any other postmaster in P F S level 6 when permitted by the Postmaster General may, furnish quarters, fixtures, and equipment for an office on an allowance basis. The allowance for this purpose shall be an amount equal to 15 per centum of the basic compensation for step 1 of salary level 6 of the Postal Field Service Schedule, determined under subsection (a) of this section.". (d) Each postmaster at a post office of the fourth class on the effective date of Postal Field Service Schedule I shall be placed in salary level 6 of the Postal Field Service Schedule at the lowest step which provides a rate, determined under section 3544(a) of title 39, United States Code, which is at least equal to his rate of basic compensation in effect immediately prior to such effective date plus 6 per centum thereof. If there is no such step in salary level 6, he is entitled to his rate of basic compensation in effect immediately prior to such effective date plus 6 per centum thereof. For the purposes of this subsection, basic compensation in effect immediately prior to the effective date of Postal Field Service Schedule I shall be determined after giving effect to any change in salary step or revenue units category which would have occurred on the effective date of this section without regard to the enactment of this title.
