THE COMPTROLLEA G3ENERAL :F THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. n.C. 20540 DATE: Febzuary 8, 1978 OF: Transportation allowances tncidcnt to sea duty When a member of the uniformed services is assigned on a permanent change of station to sea duty and Lhe duty is determined by the Secretary concerned as being unusually arduous (absent from the home port for lr.ng periods totaling more than 50 percent of the time), regulations may be amended to author- ize transportation at Government expense of dependents, ba'-age and household effects to and from a designated place even though the location of the home port or shore station are the-same, since such duty is considered sea duty under unusual circum- stanzes at provided for in 37 U.S.C. 406(e) (1970). 43 Comp. Gen. 639 (1964) modified. This action is in response to a letter dated May 27, 1977, from tha Acting Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) requesting a decision as to whether Volume 1 of the Joint Travel Regulations (1 JTR) may be anended to authorize the movement of member's dependents and baggage and huisehold effects under the'unusual or emergency circumstances addressed in 37 U.S.C. 406(e) (1970) in the circumstances described. The request was forwarded to this Office by the Per Diem, Travel and Traneportation Allowance Committee (IDTAIAC Control Number 77-15). The primary issue in this case is whether an assignment to certain unusually arduous sea duty may be considered as an assign- ment to serve under. unusual circumstances as provided for in 37 U.S.C. 406(e), and thus entitle the member to transportation of dependents and household goods to a desig ated location at Govern- ment expense even though the home port of the member's ship remains unchanged or is the same as his previous shore station. An affirma- tive answer would also permit travel and transportation from the designated lvcatibn to the member's new duty station or the home port of his ship when he is reassigned to duty not involving such arduous circumstances. -- IF s v L I r
