    Dear Mr. Morderosian:

         We are in receipt of your letters of May 20, 1979, with enclo-
    sures, and of July 16,_1979, requesting an opinion as to four ques-
    tions relating to the per diem entitlements of a-n employee assigned
    to a position under the Intergovernmental Personnel AcQ(IPA)
    Pub. L. No. 91-648, title IV, § 402(a), 84 Stat. 1920 (January 5,
    1971), codified at 5 U.S.C. §§ 3371-3376.  Although a Comptroller
    General's decision is not being rendered on your submission (see
    31 U.S.C. §§ 74 and 82d), we are providing the following information.

         The four questions you present are:

         1.  When a Federal Employee is on an Intergovernmental
         Personnel Act assignment, which is in a location that
         is in excess of 2,000 miles from his permanent duty
         station, and his permanent residence, can he penalized
         by his Permanent duty organization, from drawing per
         diem while he is on annualor  sick leave?

         2.  When this same Career employee attends and Official
         Hearing at his permanent home duty location, can his
         organization revert from  the normal per diem daily rate
         to the IPA rate paid at  the temporary location.
         Restated another way, the per .diem rate at the tempo-
         rary location was $ 16.00 per day.  The normal per diem
         rate, is lodging, motel, food, etc, accompanied by
         receipts.  The Permanent Organization pays or allows
         only  the temporary rate of $'16.00 per day, while the
         person has encumbered in excess of $ 35.00 per day
         ( provable expenses).   In addition, the Organization
         allowed a  total of 1 1/4 days per diem for total time,
         while  the trip, for this Hearing had to be accomplished
         on a weekend  for the Monday morning Hearing. A  total




                                        $06154
