PART 14_EMPLOYEE PERSONAL PROPERTY CLAIMS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 14.14  Computation of award.

    (a) The amount awarded on any item may not exceed its adjusted cost. 
Adjusted cost is either the purchase price of the item or its value at 
the time of acquisition, less appropriate depreciation. The amount 
normally payable for property damaged beyond economical repair is its 
depreciated value immediately before the loss or damage, less any 
salvage value. If the cost of repair is less than the depreciated value, 
it will be considered to be economically repairable and only the cost of 
repair will be allowable.
    (b) Notwithstanding a contract to the contrary, the representative 
of an employee is limited by 31 U.S.C. 3721(i) to receipt of not more 
than 10 percent of the amount of an award under this part for services 
related to the claim. A person violating this paragraph is subject to a 
fine of not more than $1,000. 31 U.S.C. 3721(i).
