           Mattertof: Mary Ann Relford --  Per Diem

           File:      B-224636

           Date:      June 1, 1987


           DIGEST

           Agency's determination that employee cannot be paid per diem
           for temporary duty because her lodgings at the temporary
           duty site were also the residence or place of abode from
           which she commuted daily to her permanent duty station is
           sustained. Although the employee initially acted prudently
           in establishing a residence at the temporary duty site in
           view of her recurring assignments there, there is no
           explanation as to why she continued to lodge at the tem-
           porary duty site and commute to her permanent duty statioir
           after all temporary duty had ended. Accordingly, we cannot
           conclude that the agency's determination is incorrect. See
           FTR para. 1-7.6a and cases cited.


           DECISION

           This is a request from Michael J. McAuley, National Counsel,
           National Treasury Employees Union, for a decision concerning
           the claim of Mary Ann Relford for per diem for the period
           June 3 through August 30, 1985.1/  The agency has denied her
           claim because it found that she had established a residence
           at the temporary duty site from which she commuted daily to
           her permanent duty station. We sustain the agency's denial
           of her claim.

           FACTS

           Prior to July 2, 1984, Ms. Relford was a tax auditor at the
           Terre Haute, Indiana office of the Internal Revenue Service.



           1/This is a labor relations matter filed pursuant to
           4 C.F.R. Part 22 (1986). The agency was served with a copy
           of the union's submission but has filed no response or
           comments. Accordingly, this is considered a joint request.
           4 C.F.R. S 22.7(b) (1986).
