Sapp - Reimbursement of Travel Expenses - Government Vehicle Available DIGEST: Employee, who was a member of an agency review team and authorized to perform temporary duty travel in a group by Government-owned van, received permission to travel by privately-owned vehicle as an exercise of personal preference. Since the agency did approve his privately-owned vehicle use, and since the regulations do not authorize proration of reimbursement where Government vehicle is used anyway, employee may be reimbursed mileage at 7.5 cent rate authorized by FTR paragraph 1-4.4c. This decision is in response to a request from an Authorized Certifying Officer, General Services Administra- tion, concerning the entitlement of Mr. Don L. Sapp, an agency employee, to be reimbursed mileage for use of his privately-owned vehicle while performing temporary duty travel. The issue presented is whether an employee may be reim- bursed 7.5 cents per mile, or a prorata amount, when he uses a privately-owned vehicle in lieu of a Government-furnished one. Mr. Sapp is entitled to be reimbursed the full 7.5 cents per mile since the regulations do not provide for proration. Mr. Sapp was a member of a review team which was to travel from Atlanta, Georgia, to Birmingham, Alabama, to perform temporary duty and return. A Government-owned van was available, which use was determined to be advantageous to the Government. Mr. Sapp requested and was authorized to use his privately-owned vehicle for this travel as a matter of personal preference, while the rest of the review team traveled by Government van.
