MATTER


DIGEST:


THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OF THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548




      DATE:  March 12, 1981


OF: Nancy D. Doll -Elaim for Travel
     Expense7- Temporary Quarters

 Transferred employee traveled to
 Juneau, Alaska, by Alaska State
 Ferry. She occupied temporary
 quarters beginning at 12:45 a.m.
 on day of arrival at new perma-
 nent duty station and incurred
 2 lodging expenses for the same
 calendar day. She was paid en
 route travel per diem through
 the first quarter of day of
 arrival and temporary quarters
 expenses beginning with second
 quarter at 6:00 a.m. on day of
 arrival in accordance with the
 Federal Travel Regulations
 (FTR). Employee's request for
 reimbursement for first night's
 lodging in addition to temporary
 quarters and per diem is denied.
 Her maximum daily temporary
 quarters reimbursement was $45
 under FTR para. 2-5.4c. There-
 fore, since employee was reim-
 bursed the $45 maximum allowable
 for calendar day in question, no
 authority exists for additional
 reimbursement.


     This action is in response to a request for an
advance decision from Mr. H. Larry Jordan, an autho-
rized certifying officer of the Department of Agricul-
ture, reference AC-4, HLJ, concerning the claim of
Ms. Nancy D. Doll, a Forest Service employee.

     We are asked to determine if an employee can be
reimbursed her out-of-pocketI expenses for first night's
lodging not covered by either per diem or temporary
quarters reimbursement. The claim is denied since no
authority exists for additional reimbursement.
