MATTER  OF:   William C. Rogers - Compensation for
               Overtime - Regularly Scheduled v.
DIGEST:        Administratively Uncontrollable
               Customs Patrol Officer had tour of
               duty from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and was
               authorized premium pay for irregular,
               unscheduled overtime under 5 U.S.C.
               § 5545. He performed callback surveil-
               lance duty from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. on
               April 27 through 28, 1977, and scheduled
               surveillance duty from 7 p.m. April 29,
               to 2:30 p.m. on April 30 (scheduled
               day off). He is not entitled to payment
               for regularly scheduled overtime under
               5 U.S.C. § 5542 in addition to premium
               pay since surveillance duty was admin-
               istratively uncontrollable overtime
               as it did not occur at such regular
               intervals as to fall into clear discern-
               ible pattern.

      The National Treasury Employees Union, on behalf.
 of the Estate of William C. Rogers, requests recon-
 sideration of Mr. Rogers' claim for additional over-
 time compensation in connection with his performance
 of overtime duties in April 1977 as a Customs Patrol
 Officer with the U.S. Customs Service. The claim
 was disallowed by our Claims Division on July 16,
 1979.

      As a Customs Patrol Officer with the Savannah
 District, Mr. Rogers was scheduled to work the 8:00
 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. shift for the week of April 24
 through 30, 1977. On the night of April 28, following
 completion of his regular tour of duty, Mr. Rogers.
 was called back to work for purposes of participating
 in a joint surveillance activity involving several
 law enforcement agencies. Mr. Rogers performed over-
 time duty in connection with the particular surveil-
 lance activity from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m., over April 28,
 and 29, then from 7 p.m. to 12 p.m. on April 29, and
 continuously from 12 p.m., to 2:30 p.m. on April 30,
