MATTER OF: Frederick C. Welch - Per diem
              entitlement - Barring Act

DIGEST:
          1.  Employee of Forest Service
              claims per diem in connection
              with transfer to seasonal work-
              site every 6 months for period
              from May 7, 1973, through
              November 19, 1976. Claim was
              subject of grievance proceeding
              in agency and was not received
              in-General Accounting office
              until January 10, 1982.  Portion
              of claim arising before January 18,
              1976, may not be considered since
              Act of October 9, 1940, as amended,
              31 U.S.C. S 71a, bars claims
              presented to GAO more than 6 yaars
              after date claim accrued,Filing
              with administrative office con-
              cerned does not meet requirement
              of Barring Act.

          2.  Employee of Forest Service grieved
              entitlement to per diem in connection
              with assignment to seasonal worksite
              every 6 months. ,We agree with the
              Grievance Examiner's factual determina-
              tion that the employee was in a tem-
              porary duty status and therefore
              entitled to per diem as provided for
              in the Forest Service's regulations.
              No transfer orders were prepared or
              relocation expenses allowed in con-
              nection with the annual assignment, and
              the employees maintained their permanent
              homes at their official duty aitation
              while living in Government quarters at
              the seasonal worksite.
