handle is hein.gao/gaobabljd0001 and id is 1 raw text is: B-255585.2 June 1, 1995 To the Congress of the United States: Pursuant to 31 U.S.C. § 3702(d) (1988), we submit the following report on the meritorious claim of Ms. Joyce Liverca. Ms. Joyce Liverca was an employee of the Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture, whose official duty station was Juneau, Alaska. In early May 1993, Ms. Liverca was in an approved leave without pay (LWOP) status, and living in John Day, Oregon, while seeking other employment. The Forest Service asked Ms. Liverca to return to Juneau, Alaska, to perform high priority work arising from the Exxon Valdez oil spill because another employee had a medical emergency and would be out for a long convalescence period. The Forest Service decided to recall Ms. Liverca to duty since she had previously worked on that project and had the knowledge to fill the position without the extended learning time anyone else would have required. Through error, however, the Forest Service issued a travel authorization to Ms. Liverca to travel back to her official duty station' and also authorized a per diem allowance while at her official duty station.2 Ms. Liverca traveled from her home in Oregon to Juneau, Alaska, on May 9, 1993, performed her assignment over the following several weeks, and returned to Oregon on June 5, 1993. In connection with her assignment and in reliance on her travel authorization, Ms. Liverca incurred lodging, meal, and incidental expenses for which she submitted a voucher in the amount of $4,499.50.' 'The erroneous payment of Ms. Liverca's transportation expenses was waived in Joyce Liverca, B-255585, Apr. 20, 1994 (copy enclosed). 2The Federal Travel Regulation prohibits payment of per diem to an employee at his or her official duty station. 41 C.F.R. § 301-7.5(a) (1993). 3This voucher has not been paid. The total amount of $4,499.50, which was actually expended, as more fully explained below, consists of $2,376 for lodging, $2,053.50 for meals and incidental expenses, and $70 for local mileage expenses. 93966 6 3 9 /// Y Fr 4.
