                TITLE 33--NAVIGATION AND NAVIGABLE WATERS
 
         CHAPTER II--CORPS OF ENGINEERS, DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
 
PART 211--REAL ESTATE ACTIVITIES OF THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS IN CONNECTION WITH CIVIL WORKS PROJECTS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 211.24  Disposition of claims.

    (a) Real estate claims for damages. Real estate claims for damages 
not exceeding $1,000 may be settled by the Division Engineer. If the 
Division Engineer allows the claim in toto it is transmitted to the 
local Disbursing Officer who transmits a check to claimant in payment of 
the claim. Where the claim is disallowed by the Division Engineer, in 
whole or in part, the claimant is so advised and in the event that he is 
unwilling to accept the decision of the Division Engineer, he may appeal 
within 30 days after receipt of such notice, through the Division 
Engineer's Office, to the Secretary of the Army. This appeal should 
state in full reasons for not accepting the Division Engineer's award.
    (b) Claims for damages in excess of $1,000. Claims for damages in 
excess of $1,000 arising out of the use and occupancy of real estate 
under an agreement, express or implied, or otherwise, are forwarded to 
the General Accounting Office for settlement.
    (c) Claims for rent or other payments. Claims for rent or other 
payments of a contractual nature regardless of amount arising out of the 
use and occupancy of real estate under an agreement, express or implied, 
or otherwise, are forwarded to the General Accounting Office.
    (d) Mixed claims for rental and damages. When a claim arising from 
the use and occupancy of real estate has been received, the elements of 
the claim are first determined. If the claim is for damages not in 
excess of $1,000 and rental, these elements are if practicable, 
separated and the damages settled under AR 25-25, otherwise the claims 
are forwarded to the General Accounting Office for direct settlement.
