Sec. 1213.3-5  Insurance.

    (a) ACV volunteers are covered by the Federal Employees Compensation 
Act. This provides a broad-based workmen's compensation-type coverage 
for volunteer job-related accidents and occupational sickness.
    (b) ACV volunteers are also Federal employees for the purpose of the 
Federal Tort Claims Act. Any third-party claims for injury or damage to 
property arising out of the volunteer's job-related activities will be 
treated as claims against the United States.
