C. 2054S FILE: B-195731 DATE: July 28, 1980 MATTER OF: Transportation Allowances)-rService Member's Change of ResidenceIncident to Extension of Assignment DIGEST: 1. Under the statutory authority of 37 U.S.C. 406(e) (1976), Volume 1 of the Joint Travel Regulations may be amended to allow a service member any necessary drayage and storage of household goods when he experiences an involuntary extension of assignment at a permanent duty station upon completing a training program there, and he is required for reasons beyond his control, such as the refusal of his landlord to renew a lease agreement, to change his residence on the local economy incident t~o that extension of his assignment. . 2. Neither 37 U.S.C. 406(e) nor any other provision of statutory law contains authority which would permit the amend- ment of Volume 1, Joint Travel Regula- tions, to allow the drayage of a service member's househola gboods to a new resi- dence when his duty assignment at a given location is extended, and he then elects solely as a matter of personal pre- ference to move to new living quarters. This action is in response to a request for a decision submitted by the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) on the question of whether the pro- visions of 37 U.S.C. 406(e) (1976) will permit the amend- ment of Volume 1, Joint Travel Regulations, to allow for the drayage of household goods from one residence to another in situations where a service member is assigned to a permanent duty station for the purpose of participat- ing in a training program, and his assignment at that duty station is involuntarily extended when he completes the period of training. Within certain limitations the regulations may be so amended.
