Millard W. Wilcox-  Compensatory Time


Employee, requesting reconsider4tion of
that portion of decision, 1-183751,
October 3, 1975, which disallowed claim
for payment of 550 hours forfeited
compensatory time, presents evidence
showing that compensatory time was lost
during teries of consecutive pay
periods in rwhich additional compensa-
tory time was authorized,  Simultaneous
forfeiture and acquisition of compen-
satory time over series of consecutive
pay periods is sufficient evidence of
exigency of service to preclude
forfeiture.


     This action inaa rEconsideration of  that portion of our deci-
sion B-183751, October 3, 1975, in which we disallowed the claim
of Mr. Millard W. Wilcox for 550 hours of overtime pay in lieu of
550 hours of forfeited compensatory  time. Those hours were worked
during the period January 12, 1969, to September 6, 1970.  In the
same decision we allowed Mr. Wilcox's claim for an additional 206
hours of overtime in lieu of unforfeited compensatory time which
he was unable to use due  to the exigency of the service beyond
his control.

     Mr. Wilcox had forfeited thte 550 hours of compensatory time
under the 6-month limit set by the Department of the Interior in
accordance with 5 C.F.R. 8 550.114(c).  Section 550.114(c) pro-
vides that an employee shall lose his right to compensatory time
off if it is not used unless the failure to use it is due to an
exigency of the service beyond the employee's control.  The claim
for the 550 hours of overtime originally was dinallowed as there
was insufficient evidence that the 55U hours of forfeited com-
pensatory time were not used due to the exigency of the service
beyond the employe's  control..

     Mr. Wilcox in requesting reconsideration prevented evidence
which indicated that the 550 hours of compensatory time lost were
