Gale OIGEST: An employee of the Department of Energy assigned to temporary duty in Seattle, Washington, upon arrival at the Seattle air- port, was informed of his father's death. Based on the administrative determination that he was incapable of representing the Department at the meeting he had been assigned to attend, the employee was ordered to return to Washington, D.C. and he was placed on sick leave. The employee's return travel expenses may be paid on the basis of the agency's determination that the employee became ill and was incapacitated for the pur- pose of performing his temporary duty assignment. An authorized certifying officer for the Department of Energy requests an advance decisionl/ as to whether he may properly certify a travel voucher presented by Barry G. Gale, in connection with a temporary duty assignment he failed to complete. We conclude that the voucher may be certified for payment based on the administrative determination that the employee became incapacitated and unable to perform his official duties before arrival at the temporary duty location. Mr. Gale was authorized to travel from his official station in Washington, D.C., to Richland, Washington, and return for the purpose of representing the Department of Energy's Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management at a meeting with officials of the State of Washington. His travel authorization indicated that he-was to depart on August 15, 1983, and to return on August 17th. '/ The request was made by V. Joseph Startari by letter of February 28, 1984.
