Compensation for Surveillance Activities7 Agent of Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms was assigned to surveillance project for 6-week period. Amount of overtime performed was not pre- dictable and did not recur on successive days or after specified intervals. Thus, overtime was not reg- ularly scheduled, and agent may not be compensated for time and one-half overtime in addition to premium pay for administratively uncontrollable overtime. This decision is in response to the appeal of Mr. Werner F. Michel from our Claims Division's settlement (Z-2812231) , August 15, 1979, denying his claim for additional overtime com- pensation. The issue is whether Mr. Michel is entitled to com- pensation for regularly scheduled overtime in addition to annual premium pay for administratively uncontrollable overtime in connection with surveillance work he performed during a 6-week period. Mr. Michel, an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco O and Firearms, Department of the Treasury, was assigned from March 26 to May 7, 1978, to a surveillance project which involved substantial amounts of overtime. The scheduled tours of duty for the surveillance project were 5 p.m. to 6 a.m. and 5 a.m. to 6 p.m.,. and during this 6-week period Mr. Michel claimed reimbursement for 91-1/2 hours of regularly scheduled overtime. Mr. Michel worked different shifts on 7 consecutive days from March 28 to April 3, 1978, and during this period he reported for duty early or remained late on an irregular basis and without prior scheduling. For the period from April 4 to May 7, 1978, Mr. Michel's participation in the survellance pro- ject was limited to.only four 13-hour shifts, and on those 4 days he reported early or remained late without prior scheduling. In addition, there was no recurring pattern to Mr. Michel's overtime work during these 4 days. The agency denied Mr. Michel's claim on the ground that the hours of overtime claimed were administratively uncontrollable overtime and he was already receiving annual premium pay for all overtime except regularly scheduled overtime.
