         Civilian employee of the Department of the Army o t'mporary
         duty may not be reimbursed for commercial lodging and meals
         where government lodging and meals were available. Employee
         failed to obtain a certificate of nonavailability of govern-
         ment furnished quarters in accordance with 2 Joint Travel
         Regulation (2 JTR), para. C1055,   Army Regulation 210-50,
         Family Housing Management, cited by employee in support of
         his claim, is not applicable.

         DECISION

         Mr. Jack B. Allen, a civilian employee of the Department of
         the Army, appeals our Claims Group settlement' which denied
         his request for per diem incident to two temporary duty
         assignments. The issue presented is whether Mr. Allen can
         be reimiaxrsed for commercial lodging and meals lhe obtained
         when government furnished lodging and meals were available
         at no cost.

         Mr. Allen, whose official duty station is Camp  Zama, 'Japan,
         was ordered to perform temporary duty at Camp Higashi,,*
         Chitose, Japan, from January 19 through Februaty 3, 1991,
         and at Fort PeRussy, Hawaii, from May 14 throuijh May 22,
         1991. The duty was designated asa Command Post Exercise'
         in which civilians provide suppoit to militarylpersonnel
         under field conditions.  Mr. Al46n's orders for the duty in
         Japan specified that occupancy of transLent biileting is
         impractical, would adversely affect the mission, and that
         government facilities would be provided. The travel orders
         for the duty in Hawaii stated that civilians would be
         provided lodging (double occupancy) and two meals at no
         cost.

         Our Claims Group denied Mr. Allen's request for
         reimbursement on the basis that Congress has placed a
         limitation in the Department of Defense (DOD) annual
