Juuius C. Berger - Retroactive Modification of
Travel Orders

Employee was authoriztd to travel to and from
temporary duty station in automobite of col-
league.  After 2 hours of duty on first day of
contemplated temporary duty of 3 days he was
notified of emergency at home and returned home
by rented vehicle.  Reimbursement for rental
vehicle may not be made to employee since ap-
propriate agency official has not made deter-
mination that employee had substantially
completed assignment.


     The Chief, Finance and Accounting, Central Security Service,
National Security Agency, asks whether he may certify for payment
a travel claim voucher for costs incurred by Mr. Junius C. Berger
in renting a car used for return travel from a temporary duty as-
signment under the circumstances shown below. This request has
been essigned Control No. 77-17 by the Per Diem, Travel, Trans-
portation Allowance Committee. The miatter was submitted for our
decision since allowance of the claim would require retroactive
modification of the travel authorization originally issued for
Mr. Berger.

     The record shows that Mr. Berger was issued Authorization
for TDY Travel No. TD704127, dated March 4, 1977, for the purpose
of attetidig meetings at State College, Pennsylvania, during the
period of March 8-10, 1977. The travel authorization specified
that Mr.. Berger's travel would be as a passen3er in the privately
cvued vehicle of a colleague who was also scheduled to attend the
same meei:ings. Mr. Berger states that on the morning of March 8,
1977, the first sessinn of the scheduled meetings, he was con-
tacted by his wife and informed of an emergency at home. Since
Mr. Berger did not have transportation of his own, it became
necessary for him to rent an automobile in order to return to his
residence to deal with the emergency atuation.  It is further
reported by Mr. Berger, and his agency TDY approving official,
ls. Joanns ioga, that he had completed his portion of the temporary
duty before being informed of the emergency at home. Mr. Berger
departed his temporary duty station at 10.15 a.m. on March 8, 1977,
two hours after the three days of scheduled meetings began. In order
to provide for Mr. Berger's return transportation by rental car,
