of the United States

Washington, D.C. 20548

Decision


            Department of the Air Force--Reimbursement of
Mattero     Industrial Fund Agency for Damage to Vehicle

File:       B-221 462

Date:       September 29, 1986


DIGEST

Rule that a Federal agency or entity does not pay inter-
or intra-agency claims for damage to public property aoes
not apply in the case of a reimbursable or revolving
fund. Air Force Industrial Fund activity may therefore
be reimbursed for damage to vehicles which it loaned to
another Air Force unit for use on a project unrelated to
the Fund's purpose.


DECISION

The Acting Deputy Assistant Comptroller for Accounting
and Finance, Department of the Air Force, has requested
our decision on whether the San Antonio Real Property
Maintenance Agency (SARPMA) should oe reimbursed for the
cost of repairs to two of its vehicles damaged while on
loan to another Air Force unit. As explained below, we
conclude that reimbursement in this case is authorized.

FACTS

SARPMA is an administrative subdivision of the Air Force
Industrial Fund established by the Secretary of Defense
under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 2208 (1982). It
loaned'two of its pick-up trucks to a base-level unit at
Lackland Air Force Base, called the Prime Base Engineer-
ing Emergency Force (BEEF) team, which needed them for a
project unrelated to SARPMA's mission. There was no for-
mal agreement and no provision to reimburse SARPMA for
use of the vehicles. The vehicles were damaged while in
the custody of the BEEF team. SARPMA sought to be reim-
bursed for the repair costs ($650.07) from appropriations
