MATTER   OF:   Interagency Property Damage Liabilityj


DIGEST:


   Duwavne
Printing Off
be certified


1.  Government Printing Office (GPO) may not
   reduce Standard Level User Charge (SLUC)
   payments to General Services Administration
   (GSA) by amount of loss suffered by GPO
   when its supplies were damaged by water
   leakirig through roof while stored at a GSA
   Stores Depot. In authorizing SLUC payments
   Congress intended to generate revenue and
   not to create a landlord -tenant relationship
   with all the attendant legal rights and duties.

2. Regulation authorizing GSA to recover ex-
   penses connected with repair of vehicles
   damaged  in accidents while used to provide
   interagency motor pool service is proper
   under 40 U.S.C. § 491 (Act) since it is
   part of the cost of establishing, operating,
   or maintaining a motor vehicle pool or
   system.  Furthermore, one purpose of
   Act was establishment of procedures in-
   suring safe operation of motor vehicle
   on Government business. Charging agency
   for losses caused by employee misconduct
   or improper operation of vehicle might
   help to promote vehicular safety, since
   it is agency not GSA which has direct
   control over employee using vehicle.


 D. Brown, authorized certifying officer of the Governme
ice, re uests an advance decision on whether vouchers m
for paymen  un er circumstances he describes as follows


The first voucher concerns the General Service3
Administration's system of charging commercial rates
for rental space utilizing the Standard Level User
Charge (SLUC).  Subsequent to implementation of
GSA's SLUC  system, the Government Printing Office
incurred damages to property stored in the GSA
