               CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
 
PART 14_EMPLOYEE PERSONAL PROPERTY CLAIMS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 14.3  Incident to service.

    In order for a claim to be allowed under this part, the EPA Claims 
Officer must determine that the item of personal property, at the time 
of damage or loss, was used by the employee as an incident to government 
service. An item is incident to service when possession of the item by 
the employee had substantial relationship to the employee's performance 
of duty. Whether an item is incident to service is determined by the 
facts of each claim. The employee has the burden of showing that the 
item was incident to his/her governmental service.
