handle is hein.gao/gaobadcpg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: FILE: B-184641 MATTER OF: DIGEST: DATE: SEP 11 1975 James J. Berrybill - Mileageallowance for use of bicycle on official business Mileage allowance may not be paid to an employee for the use of his privately owned bicycle on official travel since the mileage statute, 5 U.S.C. § 5704, and implementing regulations specifically pertain only to the use of motor-driven vehicles. This action is in response to a request by a certifying officer of the Department of Interior for an advance decision concerning the payment of a mileage allowance to an employee for the use of his privately owned vehicle (POV), a bicycle, on official business. Mr. James J. Berryhill, an employee of the Department's Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, was authorized to travel from his official station in Atlanta, Georgia, to Fort Worth, Texas, and return to attend a National Convention of Bicycliste on April 25 and 26, 1975, as a scheduled speaker. Rather than traveling by taxicab or other commercial carrier or by other vehicle from the Fort Worth airport to the conference site and back, the employee chose to ride the 20-mile round-trip on his own bicycle, which he had carried as baggage on the air flight from Atlanta. Mr. Berryhill has submitted a voucher dated May 8, 1975, for 60 cents, claiming 3 cents per mile as a transportation allowance for that portion of his travel. Mileage expenses for employees using FOV's and traveling on official business may be paid under section 4 of the Travel Expense Act of 1949, as amended. The provisions applicable at the time of the travel in question are codified in 5 U.S.C. § 5704(a) (1970) as follows:. (a) Under regulations prescribed under section 5707 of this title, an employee or other individual performing service for the Government, who is engaged on official business inside or outside his designated post of duty or place of service, is entitled to not in excess of- THE COMPTRD-.
