  MATTER   OF:
                 John D. Rotz
  DIGEST:
             Employee whose duties require substantial and
             -continuous temporary .duty travel and who does
             not commute daily from his residence to his
             official station may nonetheless be reimbursed
             transportation expenses and per diem en route
             for return travel from temporary duty station to
             his permanent residence for nonworkdays under
       -     paragraph 1-7. 5c of the Federal Travel Regu-
             lations and paragraph C10158, Vol. 2, of the
             Joint Travel Regulations. Those paragraphs
             allow reimbursement of expenses of voluntary
             return travel to the employee's official station
             or to the residence from which he commutes
             daily to his official station, not to exceed the
             expenses of remaining at the temporary duty
             station.

and Transportation Allowance Committee (Control No. 76-9),
N. P. Childs, a disbursing officer for the Department of the Army,
has requested an advance decision concerning Mr. John D. Rotz'
claim for additional mileage and per diem expenses in connection
with his temporary duty assignment from April 2, through June 18,
1975.

    Mr. Rotz maintains his permanent residence in Fort Loudon,
Pennsylvania, at a distance of 197 miles from his permanent duty
station at the Tobyhanna Army Depot. While the nature of his
work requires him to perform travel away from his permanent duty
station on a substantial and continuous basis, Mr. Rotz states that
he obtains temporary lodgings in a hotel at his own exp'ense when
he is occasionally required to perform duty at the Tobyhanna Army
Depot.  During the period of this temporary duty assignment,
Mr.  Retz routinely returned home to Fort Loudon to spend week-
ends and other nonworkdays with his family.

    In reimbursing Mr. Rotz' travel expenses, the Army computed
his per diem entitlement under the lodgings-plus system by dividing
$488, the total cost of lodgings actually incurred, by 58, the number
