Employees of Social Security Administration are not entitled to overtime compensation under 5 U.S.C. § 5542(b)(2), for time spent traveling in agency-hired buses from one dis- trict office to another during the New York City transit strike of April 1980 because all of the offices involved were within the employees' official duty station. Moreover, none of the conditions specified in 5 U.S.C. S 5542(b)(2)(B) were satisfied. 2. Employees of Social Security Administration are not entitled to overtime compensation under the FLSA for time spent traveling in agency- hired buses from one district office to another during the New York City transit strike of April 1980 because such travel was home to work travel. The day's work ended before the buses were boarded and it is undisputed that no work and no preliminary or postlim- inary activities were performed while traveling or upon debarkation from the buses. See cases cited. Local 3369, Amnerican Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO (AFGE), has requested a decision pursuant to 4 C.F.R. Part 22 (1983), concerning the claims for overtime compensarion for time spent by employees of the Social Security Administration traveling from home to their worksites during the New York City transit strike of April 1980. The activity was served with a copy of the union's submission and filed no response or comment. We hold that the traveltime involved is not compensable overtime under 5 U.S.C. S 5542(b)(2) or under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
