THE  COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OF   THE   UNITED STATES
V V WASHINGTON.   0. C   20548


B-185376


MATTER   OF:


DIGEST:


Mr. Edward  H. B


1. Agency policy requiring civilian employees
   to use Government quarters, if available,
   when on temporary duty (TDY) overseas
   is valid under 5 U.S. C. 5911(e)(1970)
   only if use of such quarters is essential
   to the mission. However, where TDY
   was at overseas military station where
   only enlisted personnel quarters were
   available in which officer-grade civiliazis
   were not required to stay and at which
   Government messing  facilities were not
   fully available, and where agency failed
   to inform employees of the need to
   occupy such quarters as essential to
   the mission in an unequivocal manner,
   full per diem and reimbursement for
   rental car used for transportation between
   hotel and TDY station may be allowed.


             2.  Three enlisted military members were
                 on temporary duty (TDY) as part of team
                 with civilian employees at station where
                 Government quarters and mess were
                 available for enlisted personnel but not
                 for officer-level civilians. Entire team
                 moved to commercial quarters. While
                 civilians are entitled to full per diem,
                 military members are not so entitled
                 since mess and quarters were available
                 unless under the circumstances TDY
                 order-issuing authority certifies that use
                 of Government quarters would have adversely
                 affected mission.

   This action is in response to a letter dated November 10, 1975
(Serial: N41/1052), with enclosures, from Mr. W. Smallets, Chief,
Finance and Accounting, National Security Agency (NSA), requesting
a decision as to the entitlement of three civilian employees and three
