S 6101(b)(2)), Congress has authorized overtime pay for traveltime only under the specifically limited circumstances set forth in 5 U.S.C. § 5542 and employees in this case are not entitled to overtime compensation merely on the basis that their travel took place outside their regular workweek. DECISION This responds to a June 5, 1986, joint request from Mr. Perry L. Golden, President, American Federation of Government Employees Local 2906, and W. A.

We hold that, in the circumstances presented here, the employees are not entitled to overtime compensation for their traveltime.
