Sec.  34.1  Purpose and scope.



    (a) Purpose. This part prescribes polices and procedures for 

handling claims not in excess of $40,000.00 filed by employees against 

the Department of Health and Human Services under the Military Personnel 

and Civilian Employees Claims (MPCE) Act of 1964, 31 U.S.C. 3721, for 

damage to, or loss of, property against the Department. Under the MPCE 

Act, the Secretary may approve claims made against the Government by a 

federal government employee for damage to or loss of personal property 

that is incident to employment when the loss or damage is not due to any 

negligence on the part of employee.

    (b) Scope. This part applies to all Departmental Operating Divisions 

and Regional Offices that process and review claims under the MPCE Act. 

Nothing in this part shall be construed to bar other types of claims 

that are payable under other statutory authority such as, but not 

limited to, the Federal Tort Claims Act (28 U.S.C. 2671-2680).
