           Date:     May 4, 1989
           DIGEST

           An airplane pilot who works a first 40-hour workweek is not
           entitled to )er diem because of an exception to the 10-hour
           rule in the Federal Travel Regulations, para. i-7.5b(l),
           which prohibits the payment of per diem to employees who
           qualify solely on the basis of the fact that they work a
           non-standard workday.


           DECISION

           This decision is in response to a request from the Associate
           Regional Director, Administration, National Park Service,

           Mr. Harris is paid on the basis of a first 40-hour
           workweek and receives overtime pay for all hours over 40.
           Thus, Mr. Harris may work a 12-hour day on Monday and such
           time is considered as regular time until he exceeds 40 hours
           in the workweek.

           The regulations governing per diem for travel of 24 hours or
           less prohibit the payment of per diem for travel of 10 hours
           or less but authorize per diem for travel of more than
