C. 20548 F' FILE: B-182500 DATE: SEP 4 197 MATTER OF: Carl H. Cotterill - Reimbursement forLWq I (S3 use of privately owned automobile DIGEST: 1. Although on basis of our decisions agency travel regulation requires the actual versus constructive costs for transportation and per diem to be com- pared separately in determining employee's reim- bursement when, for personal reasons, privately owned conveyance is used in lieu of common carrier transportation, our decisions were based on our interpretation of regulations which have been - superseded. We interpret the current regulation, FTR para. 1-4.3, as requiring agency to determine employee'T-eib'ursement for such travel by com- paring total actual costs to total constructive costs. 45 Comp. Gen. 592 and 47 Comp. Gen. 686 will no longer be followed. 2. Since rental cars and taxicabs are considered special conveyances under Federal Travel Regulations, the constructive cost of local travel by such modes may not be included as constructive cost of common carrier transportation under FTR para. 1-4.3 for purpose of determining maximum reimbursement when for personal reasons privately owned conveyance is used in lieu of common carrier transportation. However, to extent such local travel is authorized, the constructive cost of common carrier transpor- tation (bus or streetcar) for such travel may be included or use of privately owned conveyance may be approved as being advantageous to the Government and reimbursement determined on this basis. On the basis of a reclaim voucher submitted by Mr. Carl H. Cotterill representing travel expenses incurred by him while per- forming temporary duty, an authorized certifying officer for the Bureau of Mines, United States Department of the Interior, has requested an advance decision as to the.proper method of deter- mining constructive travel expenses when as a matter of personal preference a privately owned automobile is used for official travel in lieu of common carrier transportation.
