MATTER OF: Allis-Chalmers Company


DIGEST:

      Request for remission of liquidated
      damages assessed by Department of the
      Interior must be denied in the absence
      of a favorable recommendation by the
      head of the agency.


      Allis-Chalmers requests the remission of $103,875
 in liquidated damages assessed under Contract No.
 9-07-DS-07375, awarded by the Bureau of Reclamation,
 Department of the Interior, for turbine replacement
 runners to be used at Glendo Powerplant, North Platte
 Project, Wyoming. The liquidated damages were imposed
 for failure to ship replacement runners in accord with
 the contract shipment dates. The Department of the
 Interior has referred the request to'our Office.

      In its report, the agency recommends denial of
 Allis-Chalmers' request. Under 10 U.S.C. 2312 (1982),
 the Comptroller General may remit all or part, as he
 considers just and equitable, of any liquidated damages
 assessed for delay in performing a contract made by the
 agency. However, a favorable recommendation by the head
 of the contracting agency is a prerequisite to any
 remission action by this Office. Alan Stone Company,
 B-213822, Jan. 17, 1984, 84-1 CPD  79.

      Since the Department of the Interior recommends
 denial, we must decline to grant the relief requested.




                          Comptroller eneat
                          of the United States
