            Decision





            Matter of: William Astor

            File:        B-239225

            Date:        October 12, 1990


            DECISION

            A certifying officer for the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA),
            Department of the Interior, requests a decision on whether
            Mr. William Astor, a BIA employee, may be paid per diem while
            performing duty at Phoenix, Arizona, during his summer vaca-
            tion from Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Arizona,
            where he is a full-time student under a BIA training program.

            Mr. Astor's old duty station prior to entering the training
            program was San Carlos, Arizona. While there, he was
            selected for the Forestry Intern Program, a training program
            in which the employee is paid while he is enrolled as a full-
            time student at a 4-year college or university pursuing a
            course of study which prepares him to assume the duties of
            a professional forester upon graduation. The vacancy
            announcement for the program identified Phoenix as the duty
            station for the forestry intern position. The area forester
            states that this was done because the school the intern will
            attend is not known ahead of time. When Mr. Astor's school
            was selected the designation was changed to Flagstaff.l/

            The record indicates that Mr. Astor, his family, and his
            household goods were transported from San Carlos to his
            current residence in Flagstaff at government expense, and
            he does not appear to receive a per diem allowance while in
            Flagstaff.

            Each summer that the University is not in session, Mr. Astor
            travels from Flagstaff to Phoenix to perform duties as a BIA






            1/ The record contains a Notice of Personnel Action
            effective August 28, 1988, indicating that Mr. Astor's duty
            station was changed from Phoenix to Flagstaff.
