Holland Chief, Division of Finance United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Dear Mr. Holland: .This responds to your letter of February 7, 1992, asking whether you can relieve Ms. Susan Wannebo, alternate imprest cashier, of her personal liability for a loss from the Susanville District Imprest fund of $100. As discussed below, the record provided to us does not support relieving Ms. Wannebo of her liability. Background Your submission and supplemental information provided by Mr. Jerry Fries, Bureau of Land Management, indicates that Ms. Carmella Farrace, principal imprest cashier at the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Susanville, California District Office transferred imprest funds to Ms. Wannebo on Thursday, April 12, 1990 since Ms. Farrace was going to be * out of the office on April 13. Ms. Wannebo did not count. the funds turned over to her by the principal cashier and neither she nor the principal cashier counted the funds when Ms. Wannebo returned them on Monday, April 16 to the principal cashier. On Tuesday, April 1.7, 1990, Ms. Farrace noticed a shortage in her account oft.$100.. Yoursubmission indicates that the Bureau is unable to determine exactly when or how the loss occurred, or who is responsible. There is no evidence of wrongdoing by Ms. Wannebo or of forced entry to the imprest funds. However, Ms. Wannebo has admitted that she is partly responsible for the loss, and the Deputy State Director, Division of Administration to the District Manager, Susanville, California, determined that liability for the loss is attributable equally to the primary and alternate cashier. As a result, the Deputy State Director required both cashiers to restore $50 each to the fund. The agency deducted $50 from Ms. Wannebo's pay to restore the fund and we understand that the principal cashier made a $50 payment to the agency as required. Ms. Wannebo has requested that the $50 deducted from her paycheck be returned although her submission does not offer a legal rationale for her request. -71 2 V A 67
