Palastra, Jr, Animal quarartine fee incurred for family pet at service membvc'a temporary duty station while en route to new duty station incident to transfer may p: be reimbursed becaue it is not an allowable transportation or transportation-related expense, Further, the fact that the membur w as allowed accompanied travel with temporary duty en route does not permit payment of a fee incurred because tle family pet was traveling with the family, The question in this case is whether Major General Joseph T. Palastra, Jr, may be reimbursed an animal. quarantine fee he paid for his family pet while performing temporary duty in Hawaii en route to Korea in conjunction with his transfer from Fort Polk, Louisiana, to the 8th Army Ifeadquartets, Korea, le may not be reimbursed the animal quarantine fee because statutes and regulations provide nc authority for such reimbursement. The Commander, U.S. Army Finance and Accounting Office, Korea, presented the question, which was assigned Control Number 81-32 by the Per Diem, Travel and Transpcrtation Allowance Committee, Department of Defense. General Palostra's transfer travel orders authoried concurrent travel of his wife and children witt; him tc Korea, AA amended hiu orders also authorized 3 days of temporary duty in Hawaii en route to Korea, In fact, General Palastra per- formed this temporary duty and took leave in Hawaii en route to Korea and as authorized his family accompanied him, It io argued tl:at even though the animal quarantine fee would not be relm- bursable if incurred at his new duty station in Korea, the fee should be reimbursable because it was incurred at his temporary duty station in Hawaii under orders which required his presence at the temporary duty location and authorized concurrent trawl. of his family. In the circumstances the claimant believes thav he had no other choice but to take his pet with him to his temporary duty point in Hlawali and that the claimed fee should, therefore, be paid by the Government. - t* 4W V~~S~t~9.
