Stover - Reconsideration - Overtime Claim for Travel Outside Duty Hours Matter of: File: B-229067.2 Date: February 28, 1990 DIGEST Employee was required to perform temporary duty at various refineries 2 or 3 days in advance of ships' estimated arrivals. This need to perform duties at various times with 2 or 3 days' advance notice was an administratively controllable event by either the agency or the employee, and therefore her travel outside of normal hours is not compensable as overtime under 5 U.S.C. S 5542(b)(2)(B)(iv). DECISION Ms. Aimee A. Stover, a civilian employee of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Department of Defense, has requested that we reconsider our decision, Aimee A. Stover, B-229067, Nov. 29, 1988, which denied her claim for overtime pay for travel performed in connection with her official duty. Since we again find that the circumstances of Ms. Stover's travel do not meet the conditions specified in the statute which authorizes overtime pay, we must again deny her claim. The facts of this case, which are more fully stated in our previous decision, may be summarized as follows. From February 1984 through December 1985, DLA assigned Ms. Stover to the Island of Curacao in the Netherlands Antilles. Her duty hours were 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Her assignment involved inspectinq ships loading fuel products purchased by the United States. This required considerable travel throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. She claims 235 hours and 30 minutes of overtime for travel performed outside of her official duty hours during the period of this assignment. At the outset of her assignment, Ms. Stover was issued blanket travel orders. She was instructed to keep informed of the arrival dates of ships in the area for which she was responsible. This information was available to Ms. Stover from the U.S. Consulate in Curacao and from telexes from the 044 -fq C / 51140 1-3
