Our prior settlement is affirmed since no material mistake of law or fact in original settlement is established. The determination of whether to authorize an employee mileage for the use of his automobile as advantageous to the govern- ment is discretionary with the employing agency. DECISION ISSUE This decision is in response to a request by Mr. Porter Billingsley that we reconsider our Claims Group settlement Z-2854165, November 19, 1986, in which we denied Mr. Billingsley's claim for vicinity mileage while he was stationed at Upper Heyford, England. The settlement is affirmed since the employee has not established any material mistake of law or fact in the settlement. BACKG ROUND Mr. Billingsley is a civilian employee of the Department of the Air Force who was assigned for temporary duty (TDY) to Tpper Heyford RAFB, England, by Travel Order TA2733, dated July 15, 1980. The period of TDY was from July 18, 1980, through May 5, 1982. The travel order did not authorize mileage within the vicinity of the TDY site because, according to the agency, government-furnished transportation was available to members of the team at Upper Heyford. The van routes were explained to the team members prior to their selection of temporary residence and a vicinity map was provided to further define the routes. These routes were confined to a 25-mile radius of the facility at which Mr. Billingsley worked. _ 't 4 - - - , -1-e , - , ,
