Leff - Parking Fees 9 83 2 DIGEST: Incident to temporary duty travel employee of Customs Service drove from his home to Los Angeles (LA) Airport and used LA Air- port's parking facilities instead of the cheaper VSP lot further from the airport. Customs used to reimburse employees for higher cost parking but Customs informally changed policy. Employee is entitled to reimbursement for higher cost lot (within limits of paragraph 1-4.2c(3) of FIR)since in absence of clear written or oral instuc- tions to employee of policy change prior to his incurring costs, it was reasonable for him to rely on past agency practice. This matter involves a request for an advance decision from Mr. Peter F. Gonzalez, Director, Financial Management Division, United States Customs Service, as to whether Mr. Steven A. Leff, an employee of the Customs Service may be reimbursed certain parking fees incurred incident to temporary duty travel he performed. The record shows that Mr. Leff's official duty station is Los Angeles, California. On four occasions in the last 3 months of 1975, Mr. Leff performed temporary duty travel to Chicago, Illinois, San Diego, California, and Washington, D.C. Incident to this travel Mr. Leff flew out of and back to Los.Angeles Airport. At the start of each trip Mr. Leff departed from his home in Hacienda Heights, California, by-privately ow.ned automobile and drove to Los Angeles Airport 40 miles away. Mr. Leff then parked his car within the airport parking facilities rather than at a low cost VSP parking lot which Mr. Gonzalez states is 10 minutes by bus from the terminal buildings. Mr. Leff claimed a total of $84.25 for parking at the airport facilities but the difference between the cost of parking at the lower cost VSP lot, $31.25, and the cost of the airport facilities where he actually parked, was disallowed.
