MATTER OF:
                  Hugh J. Hyde - Standby duty

DIGEST:
                Based upon the determination of the
                Court of Claims in Hugh J. Hyde-v.
                United States, Ct. C1. No. 322- 3,
                decided April 16, 1976, 52 Camp.
                Gen. 587 (1973), which denied
                petitioner Hyde overtime compen-
                saticn for time spent in a standby
                status, is overruled. Where
                petitioner's performance of the Duty
                Security Officer function required
                him to remain at his residence
                located within the limits of his duty
                station, the Court found that, under
                the particular circumstances, his
                whereabouts were narrowly limited
                and his activities substantially
                restricted so as to entitle him to,
                overtime compensation.

     This action is in response to a request by Mr. Hugh J. Hyde
 for reconsideration of our decision in 52 Comp. Gen. 587 (1973)
 denying him overtime compensation for time claimed to have
 been spent in a standby status. His request is based on the
 favorable disposition of the same issue by the Court of Claims
 in Hugh J. Hyde v. United States, Ct. Cl. No. 322-73, decided
 April 16, 1S76. Incident to that request, Mr. Hyde seeks
 recovery of overtime compensation for the period prior to
 August 23, 1967, during which he served as Duty Security
 Officer at the Naval Ship Research and Development Center,
 Acoustic Research Detachment, Bayview, Idaho. A part of that
 period is not covered by the Court of Claims judgment because
 it is outside the 6-year statute of limitations applicable to the
 Court of Claims, but it is within the 10-year period that was
 allowed for claims filed with this Office under the Barring Act,
 31 U. S. C. 5 71a, as in effect when Mr. Hyde filed his claim.

     The facts relied on by this Cffice in previously denying
  Mr. Hyde's claim for overtime compensation are set forth in
  52 Comp. Gen. 587, supra. Based on those facts we were unable
