Wilbourn - Temporary Matterof: Duty - Local Travel by Privately Owned Vehicle File: B-233218 Date: August 24, 1989 DIGEST Two employees, who were temporarily assigned to an alternate duty site approximately 1 mile from their regular place of work, claim mileage reimbursement for their commuting between their residences and that location. Under the Joint Travel Regulations, such travel must be approved as advantageous to the government. Absent such approval, these claims may not be paid. DECISION This decision is in response to a request from a Disbursing Officer, Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army.l/ It concerns the entitlement of two employees to be reimbursed mileage for use of their privately owned vehicles while performing temporary duty at an alternate duty point which was in close proximity to their permanent duty station. We conclude that they may not be reimbursed, for the following reasons. BACKGROUND In December 1986, the U.S. Army Engineer Division (Division), Huntsville, Alabama, was conducting an evalua- tion of a number of proposals on a complex procurement matter. Because of the volume of material and amount of work involved, the Division leased several rooms at the Amberly Suite Hotel, which is located approximately 1 mile from the Division's main building. 1/ This matter has been assigned Control No. 88-16 by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee.
