handle is hein.gao/gaobadike0001 and id is 1 raw text is: WASHINGTON, D, C. 20548 FILE: B-197368 DATE: July 15, 1980 MATTER OF: Howard M. Feuer - Claims for mileage and per diem while on temporary duty near headquarters DIGEST: 1. -Employee who frequently performs temporary duty near his headquarters claims mileage for travel between residence and temporary duty station. Agency regulations require deduction of normal commuting expenses from such mileage claims, but regulations do not provide guidance on computing expenses in- curred in use of carpool. In absence of agency regulations, employee's normal com- - muting expenses should be determined on weekly basis and be divided by five to determine daily expense. 2. Employee claims per diem for travel to nearby temporary duty station where travel time exceeds 10 hours. Social Security7 Administration (SS') denied claims sinCE SSA regulation precludes per diem except where travel exceeds employee's normal travel time or distance of normal commute to permanent duty station. SSA regulation falls within discretion set forth in Federal Travel Regulations and Health, Education, and Welfare travel regulations and is consistent with our decisions. See Buker and Sandusky, B-185195, May 28, 1976. This decision is in response to a.Lrequest from S. Ronald.Luiso, Director, Division of Accounting, Fiscal and Budgeting Services, Region II, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW), for a decision on the claims of Mr. Howard M. Feuer, an Area Director of the Social Security Administration (SSA), for mileage and per diem incident to his performing.temporary duty near his headquarters. The issues areLwhether Mr. Feuer is entitled to per diem where such temporary duty does not require overnight lodging away from his residence and how his mileage claims may be properly computed. /(7 767
