  MATTER OF: Station allowances for members of Reserve
                 components of the uniformed services called
                 to active duty for less than 20 weeks
  DIGEST:  In view of the broad authority contained in
           37 U.S.C. 405, Volume 1, Joint Travel Regulations
           may be amended to authorize payment of station
           allowances at with or without dependent rates as
           appropriate to members of Reserve components who
           perform active duty for less than 20 weeks out-
           side the United States or in Hawaii or Alaska and
           who reside permanently in those areas with their
           families (if any).

components called or ordered to active duty outside the United

the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee.

graph M6007 of 1 JTR was amended by change 245, effective July 1,
1973 (currently para. M6006) to provide station allowance entitle-
ments to a member of a Reserve component called or ordered to active
duty or active duty for training at a place located outside the
United States whenever he is not entitled to per diem in accordance
with paragraph ,6001 (currently para. M6000), 1 JTR. It is stated
that the following are circumstances under which a member of the
Reserve components would not be entitled to per diem while perform-
ing active duty for periods of less than 20 weeks:

     permanent duty station (JTR, par. M 6001-la(2)).

          b.  When he is newly enlisted and is undergoing
