     This matter concerns Mr. Roy Moore, Jr.'s appeal from the
disallowance of his claim by our Claims Division, for overtime
compensation believed due incident to his performance of
certain pre-and post-shift activities as a member of the Federal
Protective Service of the General Services Administration (GSA),
Region 9, Phoenix, Arizona. Specifically, Mr. Moore has claimed
entitlement to overtime compensation for the period February 28,
1966,through June 1, 1968,and from September 1, 1970, through
February 6, 1976,based on the amount of time daily required
for changing into and out of his uniform, obtaining a weapon
and assuming his duty post while serving as a Federal Protective
Officer in Phoenix. He claimed the same type of overtime for
the period June 1, 1968,to September 1, 1970, during which time
he was serving as Federal Protective Officer in Washington,
D.C.  That claim was referred to GSA for separate settlement,
and is not at issue here.


     In Settlement Certificate No. Z-2549072, dated October 12,
1977, our Claims Division disallowed Mr. Moore's claim on the
basis, primarily, of GSA Region 9 regulations and prior Comptroller
General decisions. The settlement also cites the absence of
evidence of authorization for the overtime claimed and the
de minimus nature of the time devoted to the activities in

MATTER OF:      Roy Moore, Jr. - Overtime Compensation


DIGEST:     Federal Protective Officer employed in General
            Services Administration, Region 9, claims
            overtime compensation for time spent daily,
            outside of his regularly scheduled workweek,
            changing'into and out of uniform, obtaining
            his weapon and assuming his duty post.
            Disallowance by Claims Division is sustained
            since 1) neither regulations nor other
            authority required that Region 9 officers
            change into and out of uniform on the
            employment premises and, 2) the time necessary
            for issuance and return of weapons and travel
            to and fromduty stations of less than 10
            minutes per day is not compensable because
            it is de minimus.
