MATTER OF:
                 James H. Fox--Claim for travel expenses to
DIGEST:          and from work.
                 1.  Where employee's job is relocated from
                     Washington, D.C., to Hyattsville, Mary-
                     land, employee may not be reimbursed
                     transportation costs of commuting to
                     new job location since costs incurred
                     in commuting between residence and
                     permanent duty station are to be borne
                     by employee.

                 2.  Location of employee's official station
                     is question of fact, and it has been
                     held that employee's official duty station
                     is place at which he performs major part
                     of duties and is expected to spend greater
                     part of time.

       This action is a reconsideration of the denial on May 13,
  1974, by the Transportation and Claims Division of our Office, of
  the claim of Mr. James H. Fox for round trip mileage and parking
  fees for travel between his residence and duty station as an
  employee of the Department of the Navy. Mr. Fox's claim was dis-
  allowed on the ground that his'assignment to Hyattsville, Maryland,
  was of a permanent nature and that employees must bear the cost of
  transportation from place of residence to official duty station.

       NAVSHIPS Notice 5430, dated November 7, 1968, advised all
  Deputy Commanders of the Naval Ship Systems Command about the
  relocation of the Naval Ship Engineering Center (NAVSEC), and
  certain support elements, including Mr. Fox's organizational
  element, from the Main Navy Building, Washington, D.C., to the
  Center Building, Prince George's Center, Hyattsville, Maryland.
  The notice also advised thats

       (2) b. Those personnel identified for relocation
            with NAVSEC will be notified of change of duty
            station; there will be no change for any personnel
            in type of appointment, position, grade, or salary.
