      MATTER  OF:   Brian E. Charnick and others -
                    TDY near permanent duty station

      DIGEST:   Employees drove daily to a temporary
                duty site.  Although mileage may be
                allowed for POV travel from residence
                to nearby temporary .duty site, employ-
                ees here are not entitled to payment
                since agency did not authorize mileage.
                Authorization in such situations is
                within the agency's discretion.
                Mileage erroneously paid to another
                employee similarly.situated provides
                no basis for paying these, claims.

      The issues presented are whether mileage -expenses
    urred in traveling to a temporary duty site from employ-
      residences may be reimbursed where the employing agency
  19 not authorized mileage and whether erroneous payment to
  .one, employee si'bilarly situated provides a basis for paying
  he  ileage expenses of other employees. .

      The claimants--Brian E. Charnick, Panfilo Tirabassi,
f '1ul S. Schuster, Walter P. Lucas, Jerome J. Surretskv--
    1ian employees of the Army, were permanently assigned to

 eW  Shrewsbury, New Jersey, .a site which is considdred a part
   fiFort Monmouth, New Jersey. During the period October 9,
   3, through .March 30, 1974, the employees were assigned as
     ers of the Source Selections and Evaluation Board (SSEE).
   e SSE duty was performed in the Evans Area of Fort Honmouth,
   a distance of approximately 15 miles south of the main post.
   ohe Evans Area is located at a remote site with no public

     anent residence to the SSEB duty site by private automo-
  e  Without reporting first to the permanent duty station.
