Snydor for the loss of his household goods and per- sonal property incident tc' his evacuation from Vietnam in April 1975. Specifically you have asked this Office to determine whether, on the basis of infor- mation submitted with your letter, Mr. Snyder was in fact a civilian employee of the Navy at the time of his alleged property loss in April 1975. In accordance with section 30.1(a) of title 4, Code of Federal Regulations the claims settlement authority of the General Accounting Office does not extend to those claims which are under the exclusive jurisdiction of administrative agencies pursuant to specific statutory authority. The Military Personnel and Civilian Employees' Claims Act of 1964, as amended, 31 U.S.C. § 241(a)(2) (1976), authorizes the Secretary of Defense or his designee to pay claims up to $15,000 for damages to or loss of, personal property incident to an employee's service. Thus our office has no jurisdiction to consider the claims of employees of other agencies for the loss of, or damage to, per- sonal property under that Act and there is no duty ~4.4% 4%.
