THE  COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OF   THE UNITED STATES
WASH INGTON, D.C. 2054B


DATE:


B-185099


JUN 1  1976


MATTER OF:
                Dependent travel allowances


DIGEST:


Member was transferred from sea duty to
shore duty with the home port and home
yard of the vessel being at the same loca-
tion as the shore duty station. Since the
locations are the same, no authority exists
under present law which would permit trans-
portation of dependents and household goods
at Government expense incident to member's
transfer.


     This action is in response to letter dated September 26, 1975,
from the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Manpower and Peserve
Affairs) requesting a decision concerning the propriety of making
payment for transportation of-dependents from a place other than
the home port where a member is transferred from a vessel to a shore
station With the home port (and presumably the home yard) of the ves-
sel and the shore station being at the same location. That request
was assigned Control No. 75-28 and was forwarded to this Office by
letter dated October 6, 1975, from the Per Diem, Travel and Trans-
portation Allowance Committee.

     The information supplied indicates that a member, prior to
April 1, 1973, the effective date of change number 242 of the Joint
Travel Regulations (JTh), was transferred from a shore station to a
vessel and opted to have his dependents transported to a location
other than the home yard or home port of his newly assigned vessel
within his entitlement for transportation of dependents to the home
yard or home port of that vessel. When the member was relieved of
sea duty, sometime after April 1, 1973, he was assigned to shore
duty at the location of the home port of his former vessel. It is
stated that change number 242, changed the regulations shown in the
decision logic table 7-B-7061, Rule 3, 1 JTR, to state that when a
member is ordered on a permanent change of station from sea duty to
shore duty, transportation of .dependents is authorized from a
designated place (as that term is defined in paragraph 117001,
1 JTR) to the new shore station and from the old home port or
home yard to the new shore station.
