     James D. Clark, an authorized certifying officer
of the National park Service, Department of the Interior,
requests an advance decision on the propriety of paying
the travel reimbursement of Mr. Cecil D. Lewis for travel
performed at Lakewood, Colorado, from November 10 through
November 16, 1979. Mr. Lewis has claimed reimbursement
for both temporary duty travel and an authorized house-
hunting trip for the 6-day period.

     The certifying officer asks if Mr. Lewis should be
paid based on a house-hunting trip, temporary duty, or
both. We believe his house-hunting trip orders control
his rights, except for the temporary duty beginning on
November 13. izIs per diem and mileage entitlements are
discussed separately below.
