Agency regulation permits full mileage allowance generally, but where employee reports to headquarters, requires deduction for round- trip distance between residence and head- quarters. Since regulation makes no provi- sion for carpools, employee is entitled only to reimb':rsement permitted by regulation. By a letter dated April 15, 1977, Mr. William S. Westerfield, an authorized certifying officer of the Department of Transporta- tion, Federal Highway Administration (FHA), requested our decision regarding a voucher submitted by Mr. William A. Gates for reimburse- ment of mileage for the use of his prLvately owned vohicle while on a temporary duty assignment. At all times relevant to this action, Mr. Chtes, an FrA em- ployee, was headquartered at Albany, New York, and maintained his residence at Clifton Park, New York. Fron December 6, 1976, through December 30, 1976, Mr. Cates was assigned to temporary duty at the New York State Department of Transportation head- quarters on the State Campus in Albany, New York. While on that assignment, he was authorized to drive his privately owned vehicle (POV) to the tempora y duty station as advantAgeous to the Gov- ernment. On the first day of the assignment, December 6, 1976, Mr. Cates traveled by POV from his headquarters to the temporary station, and subsequently to his residence for a total of 22 miles. On 8 other days during the assignment, he commuted by POV from his residence to both his headquarters and the temporary duty station, returning to his residence at night, a distance of 37 miles.
