Sec.  134.55  Compensation of Customs officers and employees.



    (a) Time for which compensation is charged. The time for which 

compensation is charged shall include all periods devoted to supervision 

and all periods during which Customs officers or employees are away from 

their regular posts of duty by reason of such assignment and for which 

compensation to such officers and employees is provided for by law.

    (b) Applicability--(1) Official hours. The compensation of Customs 

Officers or employees assigned to supervise the exportation, 

destruction, or marking of articles so as to exempt them from the 

application of marking duties shall be computed in accordance with the 

provisions of Sec. Sec.  24.16 or 24.17(a)(3), respectively, of this 

chapter when such supervision is performed during a regularly-scheduled 

tour of duty.

    (2) Overtime. When such supervision is performed by a Customs 

Officer or employee in an overtime status, the compensation with respect 

to the overtime shall be computed in accordance with the provisions of 

Sec.  24.16 or Sec.  24.17, respectively, of this chapter.

    (c) Expenses included. In formulating charges for expenses 

pertaining to supervision of exportation, destruction, or marking, there 

shall be included all expenses of transportation, per diem allowance in 

lieu of subsistence, and all other expenses incurred by reason of such 

supervision from the time the Customs officer leaves his official 

station until he returns thereto.

    (d) Services rendered for more than one importer. If the 

importations of more than one importer are concurrently supervised, the 

service rendered for each importer shall be regarded as a separate 

assignment, but the total amount of the compensation, and any expenses 

properly applicable to more than one importer, shall be equitably 

apportioned among the importers concerned.
