DECISION      .     _,. OF   THE   UNITED    STATES
                        WASHINGTON, D.C. 20549

MATTER  OF: Howard E. Johnson


DIGEST: Customs Service employee who is on
        temporary duty assignment (TDY) and
        receiving actual subsistence returned
        home for weekend.  During time away
        from TDY, he did not incur costs for
        3 nights' lodging and 2-1/3 days of
        meals.  Under Federal Travel Regula-
        tions (FPMR 101-7) para. 1-8.4f (May
        1973), employee may receive reim-
        bursement for travel up to actual
        subsistence expenses which would have
        been allowable at TDY site.  Since
        employee's weekend round-trip travel
        expense was less than the average
        subsistence expenses at TDY site,
        employee may be reimbursed his travel
        expenses.


     Mr. L. R. Byrne, Director, Financial Management
Division, United States Customs Service,-Miami, Florida,
requests our decision whether he may certify for payment
a voucher of $70 for travel expenses incurred by an
employee who voluntarily returned to his official duty
station from his temporary duty station for the weekend.
Since the cost of the employee's trip was less than the
subsistence expenses that would have been allowable had
the employee remained at the temporary duty site, pay-
ment may be authorized.

     From April 30, 1979, through May 11, 1979, the
employee, Howard E. Johnson, was assigned to perform
temporary duty (TDY) at Tampa, Florida, a high rate
geographic area in which employees on TDY are author-
ized actual subsistence not to exceed $42 a day..
Mr. Johnson reported to duty on April 30 and remained
at the TDY station until 8:20 p.m. Friday, May 4, 1979,
when he voluntarily returned to his home for the week-
end.  He returned to his TDY station on Monday morning
May 7, 1979.
