D.C. 20548 IT Vvl~ B-195903 DATE: September 15, 1980 MATTER 0 DIGEST: F: Ernest F. Saker - Temporary Duty Aboard Vessels - Per Diem Insofar as applicable to non-lodging portion of per diem, the 3 days in port rule of 50 Comp. Gen. 388 (1979) was not affected by enactment of section 853 of Defense Appropriation Act, 1978, restricting use of appropriated funds to pay lodging cost when Government quarters are available. Since October 1, 1977, amendment to 2 JTR 4552-,3b(6) to reflect appropriation restriction did not define per diem entitlement when meals were procured ashore, the Government Quarters Available rate of per diem prescribed by 2 JTR 4552-3d should be paid after the third day in port for period from October 1, 1977, until December 1, 1978. LThe question presented is what method the Naval Oceanographic Office should have used to determine thte amount of per diem payable to its employees who weEe on temporary duty assignments aboard ships outside the continental United States (CONUS) for the periods during which these ships were in portTh For the reasons stated below, we hold that for the period in question, October 1, 1977, to December 1, 1978, the Naval Oceanographic Office should compute the per diem payments for employees involved by paying one-half of the locality per diem rate for all in-port periods beyond 3 days. -.The issue was presented by a letter from the Disbursing Officer, Naval Oceanographic Office,- dated July 26, 1979, forwarding a travel voucher submitted by Mr. Ernest F. Saker, a civilian employee of that office. Mr. Saker served on temporary duty assignments aboard survey vessels between October 1, 1977, and December 1, 1978. The ouestion is how his per diem should be computed. FILE: 2~~ , -. , - _e
