 MATTER OF:     Jack C. SmithL et al. - Per Diem on
                Temporary Duty - Government Furnished
 DIGEST:        Quarters - Barring Act


          1. Five employees of the Forest Service
             claim per diem for temporary duty
             performed at seasonal worksites in
             Boise National Forest for periods
             ranging from October 1, 1976,
             through November 10, 1982. Claims
             were received in the General
             Accounting Office (GAO) on August 9,
             1983. Portions of claims of two
             employees arising prior to August 9,
             1977, may not be considered since
             the Barring Act, 31 U.S.C. S 3702(b)
             (1982), bars consideration of claims
             received by GAO more than .6 years
             after date claims first accrued.

          2. Five employees of the Forest Service
              performed temporary duty at seasonal
              worksites in Boise National Forest.
              They were denied per diem allowances
              because they were furnished Govern-
              ment quarters in lieu of per diem in
              accordance with Forest Service regu-
              lations. Since the employees main-
              tained residences at their permanent
              duty stations and incurred addi-
              tional expenses for meals and
              miscellaneous items during their
              temporary duty assignments, they are
              entitled to payment of a reduced per
              diem.


     This decision is in response to a request from
Mr. John R. Nienaber, Authorized Certifying Officer,
National Finance Center, United States Department of
Agriculture, as to whether Mr. Jack C. Smith, and three
other employees and a former employee of Boise National
Forest, Forest Service, United States Department of
Agriculture (David F. Hale, Hugh J. Irish, Walter W. Thomas,
and Robert R. Goodin), are entitled to per diem for tours
of temporary duty performed at seasonal worksites.
