handle is hein.gao/gaobadlzz0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL I- OECIUION OP THE UNITNO STATES ,/ WASHINGTON 0.C. 20548 FILE: B-211818 OATE: November 13, 1984 MATTER OF: Durel R. Patterson - Reconsideration DIGEST: The location of an employee's official station is a question of fact, and the factors to be considered are: the admin- istrative designation; the place where the employee performs the major part of the duties; and the length and nature of the employee's duties and assignments. Here, the employee performed some duties at the administratively determined offi- cial station, but performed a majority of his duties at another station. However, since the nature of his employment was itinerant with assignments to many differ- - ent temporary duty stations, we hold that the administratively determined official station was, in fact, his official duty station. B-211818, February 14, 1984, sustained. ISSUE In our earlier decision, Durel R. Patterson, -211818, February 14, 1984, we held that under the applicable provi- sions of the Joint Travel Regulations, Mr. Patterson was entitled to a reduced per diem while staying at his family residence in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, when he performed temporary duty in Baton Rouge. Our decision was based on the fact that Mr. Patterson did not commute from this resi- dence to his official duty station in Simmesport, Louisiana. The Finance and Accounting Officer for the New Orleans District,-Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army, has requested reconsideration of this decision arguing that although Simmesport was administratively designated as Mr. Patterson's official duty station, the facts show that his official duty station was Port Allen, Louisiana, near Baton Rouge. Thus, the issue presented for reconsideration is what was, in fact, Mr. Patterson's official duty station for the period from November 1979 until October 31, 1982.
