Pariseau and Rickey A.

The term station per diem allowances appearing at 5 U.S.C. § 5561(6)(F) does not include temporary allowances in the nature of per.diem for temporary duty travel. Ernest G. Cummins, an authorized certifying officer at the Denver office of the Bureau of Land Management, U. S. Department of the Interior, on March 16, 1976, forwarded for advance decision two vouchers for payment of per diem under the aissing Persons Act. The vouchers in the amounts of $340 and $660, respectively, are presented on behalf of the dependents of Messrs. Gregory F. Pariseau and Rickey A. Tevebaugh. The two men, who were employees of the Bureau of Land Management, Anchorage, Alaska, District Office, were en route to a temporary duty station at Yakataga, Alaska, via Goverrment- controlled aircraft on May 5, 1975. The airplane crashed and it was later determined that all persons on board were killed instantly. Mr. Pariseau's body was recovered on May 13, and Mr. Tevebaugh's body was recovered several days later on May 21. Both employees were determined to be in a missing status until their bodies were recovered. By virtue of that status, their accounts are entitled to be credited with the benefits provided under the Missing Persons Act as codified at Chapter 55, subchapter VII of Title 5 of the United States Code. The specific claims for per diem at a rate of $40 per day are made pursuant to the following provision of 5 U.S.C. § 5562(a): (a) An employee in a missing status is entitled to receive or have credited to his account, for the period he is in that status, the same pay and allow- ances to which he was entitled at the beginning of that period or may become entitled thereafter. _ __ 1--
