THI CMPTRfLLWR OF THIU UNITED UMrIAAL ItvATEG8 WAVIHINGTON, 0, 0, 20548 FILE: B-20470 MATTER OFt r 1 Mlt, P RYI L~y I La= Gi I9 '9 DATE: March 23, 2982 U.,S, Immigration & Naturalization Service Employees Lodge #46 - Reimbursement of Actual Subsistence Expenses Emplbyees were assigned to temporary duty in Kent and Ottawa gountiep in Hichigon but lodged at Kalamazoo, Michigan, which is not In either of those two counties, Employees' travel orders authorized reir- bursement for actual subsistence expenses, but their olaims for such expenses were denied pursuant to FTR paragraph 1-8,lb, which prohibits reimbursement for suh expenses when the high rate geographical area Is only an en 'oute stopover point at which .no official duty is performed. The emplbyees should be reimbursed for actual subsistence expenses since the record indicates that official duties were perfotmed in Kalamazoo, Thus, Kalamazoo was not an intermediate stopover point as cohtemplated by the;FTR, Also, FTR paragraph l-8.lc(3)(d) permits reimburse- ment of actual subsistence expenses in situations similar to this. This dec-ision responds to'a submissibn fromthe U.S. Imm.gration and Naturalization Service Employees Lodge #46, American Federation of .Government Employees, concerning the claims of several of its union members for travel expenses incurred while on official busi- ness. This decision has been handled as a labor- relations matter under our procedures cohtained in 4 C.F.R. Part 22 (1981), as amonded, in 45 Fed. Reg. 55689, August 21,1980. The agency was served with a copy of the union's submission but has filed nio written comments or, response. 4 C.P.R. § 22.4 (1981). SThe issue to be decided in thois case is wheter certain employees assigned0to temporary duty in Kent an'i Ottawa counties in Michigan should be reimbursed fo0;4 actual subsistence expensesoinstead of per diem while staying in Kalamazoo, Michigan, a high rate geographi6al area. We hold that, since the employees did perform official business in Kalamazoo, they may be reimbursed on the actual subsistence expenses basis.
