Allowances may be paid even though travel of dependents occurs before the effective date of the vessel's or unit's change of homeport. 45 Comp. Gen. 689 (1966); 43 Comp. Gen. 505 (1964) overruled. DECISION This responds to a request for our decision as to whether Volume 1 of the Joint Travel Regulations (1 JTR) may be changed to permit the payment of overseas station allowances when the homeports of vessels are changed from the contiguous United States to overseas locations and the members' depend- ents arrive at the overseas station prior to the effective date of the homeport change.l/ The provisions of 1 JTR may be changed to authorize the payment of overseas station allowances under these circumstances. BACKGROUND The Assistant Secretary of the Army indicates that payment of the allowances in question is prohibited by principles set forth in two of our decisions, 45 Comp. Gen. 689.(1966) and 43 Comp. Gen. 505 (1964). These decisions heldl that the tem- porary lodging allowance and other overseas station allow- ances authorized by 37 U.S.C. § 405 (Supp. III, 1985) are not payable until vessels' change-of-homeport orders become 1/ The request was made by the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) on behalf of the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee. 0,36O~ -431/c
