C. 20540 Nud 19 1975 FILE: B-183541 DATE: MATTER OF: Major Thomas C. Dark, USA, Ret. - Claim for Cash Award Under Incentive Awards Program DIGEST: Former member appeals Settlement Certificate denying claim for cash award incident to submission of three suggestions under Army's Incentive Awards Program. Suggestions were considered by officials vested with authority to approve cash awards, and General Accounting Office is without authority to challenge properly made administrative determination. Further- more, claim which is not based on Incentive Awards Program but, rather, on this Office's settlement authority must also be denied since there is no independent authority for payment of such claim. This action results from an appeal of a Transportation and Claims Division (TCD) Settlement 1o. PAZ-2561200-EGO-2, dated February 28, 1975. That settlement concerned the claim of Major Thomas C. Dark, USA, Retired, incident to certain sug- gestions he submitted to the Department of the Army under the Incentive Awards Program. The record indicates that Major Dark and Colonel William James submitted a total of six suggestions under the Department of the Army's Incentive Awards Program. The suggestions which are the subject of this appeal are: (a) M-68-174-J, Order and Shipping Time, (b) 160-1823-72-1, Procurement Lead Time Computation Procedures, and (c) 160-0267-73, Order and Ship Time Span. One of the suggestions, M-68-174-J, dated January 24, 1968, was favorably considered for adoption, and resulted in a cash award totaling $3,100, divided 60 percent to Major Dark and 40 percent to Colonel James, who has since relinquished claim to awards resulting from the subject suggestions in favor of Major Dark. The remaining suggestions were not favorably recom- mended for consideration, despite several reviews of each sug- gestion at different levels in the Department of the Army. Section 1124(a), title 10, United States Code (1970), enables the Secretary of Defense to authorize the payment of a cash award to a member of the Armed Forces who by his suggestion, invention, or scientific achievement contributes to the efficiency, economy, oqr77/f2c77
