B-191415 1 (1979-01-12)

handle is hein.gao/gaobadguq0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 2 ... - i.. MATTER DIGEST: O . -Pr-+ The Ofhiue of Audits of the U. S. Civil Service Commission requests reconsideration of that part of our decision B-191415 dated, October 17, 1978, which disallowed reimbursement of parking fees to Susan P. Covell incident to a temporary duty assignment. The Office of Audit questions our refusal to allow $220 in parking fees incurred by Ms. Covell at the apartment complex where she resided during a temporary duty audit assign- ment in Boston, Massachusetts. The Travel Order No. MB-50 dated October 1, 1976, authorized travel and actual subsistence expenses incident to the temporary duty assignment for the period February 21 through July 1, 1977. The order permitted transpor- tation by common carrier or in lieu thereof, travel by privately owned automobile (POA) not to exceed the constructive cost. Our decision disapproving reimbursement was based on the reasoning that the parking costs resulted from the employee's personal preference to travel by automobile. The parking costs would not have been incurred had air transport been utilized. We concluded that there was no basis for allowing Ms. Covell reimbursement for parking fees in addition to reimbursement of the constructive cost of travel by common carrier. 0e L) U 19-1 DATE: January 12, 1979 F: Susan P.

Employee on extended temporary duty traveled by privately owned automobile restricted to reimbursement of con- structive cost of travel by common carrier may not be reimbursed separate parking fees charged at rented apart- ment complex. Additional costs for park- ing resulted from employee's election to travel by automobile. 2. Travel orders may not be revoked or modified retroactively after travel has been performed so as to increase or - decrease the rights that have accrued and become fixed under applicable law and regulation. 6' ~'iTHE COMPTROLLER GENERAL * OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, 0.
