                          THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
  DECISIONll              OF  THE   UNITED    STATES
                          WASHINGTON. 0.C. 20548

              ATF Special Agents - Regularly Scheduled
  MATTER  OF: or Administratively Uncontrollable Overtime7
              for Dignitary Protection

  DIGEST: 1.  Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearm special
              agents'were detailed to State Department
              for dignitary protection. Agents who
              received annual premium pay for adminis-
              tratively uncontrollable overtime may be
              compensated for regularly scheduled
              overtime if work was authorized in advance
              and scheduled to recur on successive days
              or after specified intervals. Overtime
              need not be worked the same time each day
            , or in same amounts, but variations in
              schedule may indicate overtime was
              irregular or uncontrollable.

          2.  Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearm special
              agents were scheduled to work 8 to
              12-hour shifts for dignitary protection.
              Lunch periods authorized within shift may
              be offset against other overtime claimed
              unless substantial duties are performed
              during that period.

     The issue in this decision is whether certain
Federal law enforcement agents are entitled to compen-
sation for regularly scheduled overtime in addition to
annual premium pay for administratively uncontrollable
overtime while detailed to protective duties.

     This decision is in response to a request from g
James S. Dunn, Chief, Financial Management Division,
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), Depart- . 7
ment of the Treasury. The request from the agency
states that certain ATF special agents who receive pre-
mium pay on an annual basis for administratively uncon-
trollable overtime (AUO) have been detailed to the State
Department for dignitary protection. Pre-established
schedules were issued for these agents, but in some in-
stances the agents worked either fewer or more hours
