OF THC UNITED S3TATES ~ WASHINGTON. 0.0. 20548 I'4Tt 0ECIS1ON ri~~~5Zi FILE: B-208740 DATE: January 31, 1983 MATTER OF: Temporary Lodging Allowance The Joint Travel Regulations may be amended to authorize temporary lodging allowances to members of the uniformed services when inci- dent to a permanent change of station they perform temporary duty en route within the limits of their new permanent duty station prior to reporting to that station. This allowance may be paid at the time the member reports to the temporary duty station. If the temporary duty station is not within the limits of the permanent station, temporary lodging allowances are not authorized and ih the absence of a more specific proposal with respect to this situation the regulations should not be amended to provide this entitlement. This action is in response to a letter dated July 16, 1982, from the Assistant SecreLary of the Navy (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) requesting an advance decision on whether we would object to a proposed amend- ment toVolume 1 of the Joint Travel Regulations (I JTR)X which would authorize a temporary lodging allowance at the time a member, who incident to a permanent change of station, is assigned to temporary duty en route, in the same location as his new permanent duty station. We have no objection to such an amendment since the member has arrived at his permanent station. We have also been asked whether our answer would be different if the temporary duty station is not within the limits of the new permanent station, but is in close proximity to it. Since a member is not at his permanent station and a temporary lodging allowance is a permanent station allowance no entitlement exists and the regula- tions should not be amended. The request has been assigned PDTATAC Control Number 82-17 by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee. DIGEST: V
