MATTER OF:Donald Macnab--Claim for overtime compensation

DIGEST:   Cuitoms emloyee  claims overtime pay under Customs
          overtime laws, 19 U.S.C. 267 and 1451 (1970), for
          work performed in addition to regular tour of duty
          and between the hours of 5 p.m. and 8.am.  Employee
          is entitled to such compensation rega!dless of
          whether he first performed 8 hours of duty on the
          day claimed, and aay contrary interpretation of the
          laws or the decision in 0'ourke v. United States,
          109 Ct. Ci. 33 (1947), will not be folloIed.


      This sctiok is inlresponse to the request for reconsideration
  cf the settlement issued January 27,1975, by-our Transportation
  &sd Claims Divislon (now Claims Division) denying the claim of
  Kr. Donald Maciab for overtime compensation under sections '67 and
  61451 of title 19, UniteC States Code, while employed by the U.S.
  Cusoms Service, Department of the Treasury, as a Customs
  Inspactor at Naco, Arizona.
      Bdefly  stated,'the record indicates that the employee
 worked an 8-hour shift from either 4 p.m. to midninht or
 midnijht to 8.am.  on.48 days during thejeriod June 22, 1959,
 and June 24, 1963, which were his,, cheiuled days off duty. This
 work was inexcess of his basic 40-hwur workweek, and he was
 compensated for this overtime-duty under the provisions of the
 Federal Employees Pay At'of  1945, 5 U.S.C. 554l et.se. (1970).
 Mr. Macnab claims that he should have been compensated for such
 duty under the provisions of the Customs overtime laws set forth
 in 19 U.S.C. 267 and 1451 (1970), and he seeks the difference
 between  .;Ari overtime compensation actually received and the
 mount  payable under sections 267 and 1451.

      The Settlment  Certificate of January 27, 1975, idenied the
  clim on the ground that since the employee had not worked more
  tha eight hours on the days claimed and uf e none of the-days
  fell on a Sunday or holiday, the employee   act enrited  to
  overtime under the Cuutoms overtime laws as interpreted in
  United States.v. Myers, 320 U.S. 561 (1944), modified, 321
