Duty station must be where major part of duties are performed and cannot be desiqnate elsewhere in order to pay such expenses. Claim for travel and subsistence expenses Is not for reporting to Congress as meritorikus claim. This action is in response to the request of Mr. Bertil Peterson, a retired Federal employee, for relief from collection of erroneoua paymenLs of travel and subsistence expenss which were made incident to his reemployment by the Department of the Interior (Interior). We have'also received a report frqm Interior recommendinq that this case be submitted to Ccuigress under the Meritorious Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. 9 236 (1970). The record before us indicates that Mr. Peterson retired in July 1973, from his posiLion wilts the National Park Service as a Realty Specialiist at the Colonial National Park, Virginia, and that ii 1975 he was asked to return as a reemployed annuitnmt to assist with the purchase of additional property within the boundaries of the Park. It appears that Mr. Petetson expressed some reluctance to return to the Colonial National Park from his residence in Glendale, Arizoia, in view of the travel ard subsistence expenses which would be incurred and the fact that his salary would be reduced by the amount of his annuity. Under these ciLrcumstaces, Interior determined that Phoenix, Arizona, would be considered Mr. Petercon's official duty station and that he would, therefore, be entitled to travel and subsistencu eyonnes while employed in Virginia. Mr. Peterson accepted the offer thosL- circumstances and was eiployed Auqust 29, 1975, to October 18, 1915 1976, to March 30, 1976.
