Chubb, Jr., USN DIGEST: Member who uses a privately owned vehicle when called back from his place of lodging to his normal duty location to give technical assis- tance is not entitled to reimbursement under 37 U.S.C. 408 (1970) for travel between those locations since travel between a member's lodg- ings and his normal duty location must be performed at personal expense even where it is performed before or after normal duty hours or results from ordered performance of additional duties. The regulatory exception to that rule under which a taxi may be used at Govermtent expense applies only in unusual situations during hours of infrequently scheduled public transportation or darkness. This action is in response to letter dated October 31, 1974, with enclosures, from the Officer in Charge, U.S. Navy Finance Office, FPO San Francisco 96630, requesting an advance decision concerning the legality of reimbursement for the use of a privately owned vehicle (POV) outside regular duty hours. The request was forwarded here by endorsement dated February 13, 1975, from the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee and has been assigned PDTATAC Control No. 75-5. The submission involves Lieutenant Commander John E. Chubb, Jr., USN, who, while stationed on Guam, Mariana Islands, was frequently called back to his duty location from his place of lodging to give technical assistance. He traveled by POV when called back to duty after normal working hours. The member requests that he be reim- bursed at the rate of 12 cents a mile for such travel performed during the period July 4-August 29, 1974. Section 408 of title 37, U.S. Code (1970), provides for reimbursing a member of a uniformed service for cost of trans- portation necessary in the conduct of official business within the limits of his station. Reimbursement for the use of a privately owned vehicle incident to such travel is to be at a fixed rate a mile as prescribed by regulation.
