Civilian guard claimed overtime for pre-
shift and post-shift activity.  Dispute
exists between agency and employee con-
cerninq amount of time reacired to perform
suph activity. GAO decisions are based upon
the written record.  Where the written
record before us presents a material dispute
of fact that cannot be resolved without an
adversary hearing, we are recuired to deny
the claim because the claimant has failed
to establish his claim. Based on adminis-
trative determination that such time
totalled 2 minutes daily, claim is denied
since Court cf Claims has required that
such time equal or exceed 10 minutes to be
compensable.


     By a letter dated October 25, 1977, Mr. Arthur L.
Butler appealed the denial by our Claims Division of his
claim for overtime compensation.

     Mr. Butler's claim is for certain pre-shift and post-
shift activity alleged to have been performed as a Federal
Protective Officer of the General Services Administration
(GSA), Region 9, in Phoenix, Arizona, from February 6, 1972,
to February 3, 1974.  Specifically, Mr. Butler has claimed
a total-of 20 minutes each day during the claim period for
obtaining and returning a weapon, and to travel between
the weapon control point and his post of duty.

     In Settlement Certificate No. Z-2610516, dated
October 12, 1977, our Claims Division denied Mr. Butler's
claim for overtime compensation.  Among the reasons for the
Claims Division's conclusion was the fact that there was no
requirement by GSA Region 9 that employees should report
early or leave late for the purpose of changing into or nut
of Mniform at their place of employment.  Further, the
Acting Regional Administrator of Region 9 informed the
Claims Division that the time to draw and replace weapons
and to travel between the control point and the post of.
