Colombo A transferred employee claims addi- tional per diem for period when traveling between old and new official stations and ducing occupancy of tempo- rary quarters after his reimbursement was reduced to comply with the per diem rate pertaining to permanent clangen of duty station established by the Depart- ment of the Interior, His claim may not be allowed because the determination as to what per diom rate will be authorized is within the discretionary authority of the employing agency.

When Mr. Colombo submitted his claim for travel allowances and temporary quarters subsistence expenses derived from these rates, his reimbursement was reduced to comply with the $30 per diem rate for permanent changes of station entitlements established by departmental regulations. Chapter 13 'of Part 347 of the Departmental Manual sets forth regulations governing permanent change-of-staton allowances for Department of the Interior employees. Essentially it provides that the specific provisions of the Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) (FPMR 101-7) will govern the payment of such allowances.
