                        THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
DECISION .              OF  THE   UNITED STATES
                        WA  SH IN GTO N , 0 . C. 20548

MATTER  OF:


DIGEST:  1.


38


DATE: March 16, 1979


Gretchen  Ernst - Claim for Mileage
to  Temporary Duty Assignment

Navy employee was detailed away from
her official duty station to work for
another Navy component for a period
not to exceed 14 months. Assignment
may be considered temporary duty and
employee authorized mileage for commut-
ing between residence and temporary
duty assignment within discretion of
agency.  Navy determination should be
based on duration of detail and cost
of mileage as compared to relocation
expenses which would be paid under
transfer orders and subsistence ex-
pense payable if employee remains at
temporary duty station. See 36 Comp.
Gen. 795 (1957).


             2.  Navy employee who voluntarily commutes
                 daily to temporary duty assignment may
                 be allowed travel expenses not to exceed
                 the subsistence expenses she could claim
                 had she remained at the temporary duty
                 station. See 50 Comp. Gen. 44 (1970).

             3.  The question of whether an assignment
                 to a particular location should be con-
                 sidered a temporary duty assignment or
                 a permanent change of duty station is
                 a question of fact to be determined
                 from the orders directing assignment,
                 the duration of the assignment, and
                 the nature of the duties to be per-
                 formed. See 33 Comp. Gen. 98 (1953).

     This action is in response to a request for an advance
decision from Jean M. Helfrich, Director, Command and Admin-
istia-ion. Financial Management -TEice, Naval Sea Systems
Command, Department of he Navy  reference 09377MH  Ser. 181,
