The Commander, Shu Lin Kou AS, in response to our request, furnished individual copies of TLA Expense Data Worksheets to support the TLA pay- ments in question. With his response he included a copy of COMUSTDC (SSiR) Instruction 7220.IB dated February 16, 1973, issued by your Command, and a copy of the 327th Air Division Regulation 177-2 dated April 11, 1973, issued by Department of the Air Force, Headquarters 327th Air Division (PACAF), APO San Francisco 96280. The Commander, Shu Lin Kou AS, advised that TLA payments were made in accordance with the provisions of the JTR, para. M4303, the instruction and regulation cited above. Our review of the Expense Data Worksheets disclosed that overpay- ments of TLA were occurring in the instances where the duration of the TLA entitlements exceeded 10 days and there were two or more 10 day increment payments made. We attribute the cause for the overpayments to the computation instructions contained in Part III of TLA Expense Data Worksheet, TDC Form 7220/1 (1-73), copy enclosed, which is a part of the Taiwan Defense Command Instruction 7220.13. The instructional note in Part III reads, in part, as follows: In computing the number of days TLA required, a fraction of a day will be rounded up to the next whole day. Examples: 6.7 days would be rounded up to 7 days, 4.3 days rounded up to 5 days. This is required to insure that a service member will never receive less than his actual expenses.
