J     THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
S.~b OF THE UNITED STATES
       w A SH IN GTON, O.C. 20548




                 DATE:  January 8, 1980


MATTER OF: Lieutenant William R.   Miller, USCGR


DIGEST:An   amendment to Executive Order No. 11,157 by Executive,
         Order No. 12,094 redefined sea duty for basic allowance
         for quarters (BAQ) purposes; however, the amendment did
         not affect the Secretaries of the armed services
         authority to issue supplemental regulations not incon-
         sistent with the Executive orders. A Coast Guard member
         contends that he is entitled to receive BAQ in light
         of the new definition, while on sea duty for over
         3 months, during which he spent a few days on shore.
         Since the claimant would not be entitled to receive
         BAQ under the supp4emental regulations issued by the
         Coast Guard and since those regulations rationally
         effectuate 37 U.S.C. 403(c) which prohibitspayment
         of BAQ to member without dependents who are on sea
         duty for 3 months or more, and the Executive orders,
         the claim is denied. -         h

         The  issue is whether   ember of the United States Coast -
    Guard is e~nzit1ed---o--r.cei yfor '
    quar-te  (AQy's  a member without dependents for the period
    he was deployed from his permanent duty statfon and was
    assigned to temporary additional duty (TAD) on board a
    United States vessel. For the reasons stated below BAQ at
    the without dependent rate may not be authorized for the
    period in question.

         The question was presented by letter from Mr. E.J. Rowe,
    Authorized Certifying Officer, United States Coast Guard, and
    was assigned Control No. ACO-CG-1330, by the Department of
    Defense Military Pay and Allowance Committee.

         Lieutenant William R. Miller, United States Coast Guard
    Reserve, is attached to the Polar Operations Division
    permanently stationed at the Coast Guard Aviation Training
    Center, Mobile, Alabama. As part of his duties with the
    Polar Operations Division he is routinely deployed on TAD to
    a vessel for extended periods of time. In the present situation,
    he was deployed, as a member of a helicopter detachment, on TAD
