Lloyd Chynoweth - Privately owned
conveyance - Local travel


Employee of Pureau of Reclamation who uses
his car for local travel is not entitled
to reimbursement for commuting from his
residence to his worK station except, and
subject to the agency's discretion, on
those days when travel which requires over-
night lodging, is performed, However, again
in the agency's discretion, employee is
entitled to reimbursement for use of his
car for travel between his two regular
places of duty.


     The issue in this case is whether Mr, Lloyi
Chynoweth, an employee of the Bureau of Reclamatin,
is entitled to reimbursement for use of his privately
owned vehicle for local travel between his residence
and hii work stations in any of the circumstances
presented below, We hold that Mr, Chynoweth is not
entitled to reimbursement for use of his car to commute
to his duty stations except on those days when lie will
be going on a trip which requires overnight lodging.
However, within the agency's discretion, he is entitled
to reimbursement for travel performed between two
locations within his duty stati6n,

     The issue is Presented by Mr. Paul D. Rachetto,
an authorized certifying :officer with the Bureau of
Reclamation (Bureau), Department of the interior.
Mr. Chynoweth is employed, by the Bureau' as a pilot.
Although the Federal Building in Billings, Montaha, is
designated as his official duty station, the Bureau
informs us that he has no office there and spends only
one-half day there each week,  Normally he reports:
directly to duty to an airplane hangar at the Billings
Airport. The Federal Building is approximately 7 miles
from his residence, while the hangar is approximately
8 miles- from his residence.  Both the Federal Building
and thet airport are reportedly within the corporate
limits of Billingsl the distance between the two is
approximately 5 miles.
