LDATE: August 14, 1978 Leighton E. Johnson - Claim for additional per diom and mileage incident to temporary duty 1. Employee claims additional per diem allowance on basis that travel orders allegedly authorized rate of $25 which was consistent with what other persons at same facility were paid. Although travel orders authorized only $12 rate, JTR pro- vided for a maximum rate of $25, which could not be reduced unless such reduction was approved by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allow - ance Committee. See JTR C8051(e)(2). 2, Employee is not entitled to mileage from place of lodging to temporary duty station since agency did not authorize it and such authorization is within the agency's discretion upon consideration of the best interests of the employee and the Government. This action is a request for reconsideration of a settlement of November 22, 1976, issued by the Claims Division of our Office, which denied, in part, the claim of Mr. Leighton E. Johnson, an employee of the State Military Forces- California (National Guard), Sacramento, California, for additional per diem allowance and mileage expenses incident to his temporary duty assignment (TDY) to attend a course in instruction at the Army Training School, Ft. Eustis, Virginia. The facts of this case, according to the record, are summarized as follows. Travel Ordei number 1497, issued October 9, 1970, authorized Mr. Johnson approximately 4 days of TDY at the Army Training School. It was indicated in block 16 of these orders that per diem was authorized as prescribed by paras. C8051 and C8101, Volume 2 of the Department of Defense Joint Travel Regulations (JTR), which resulted in a stated rate of $12. Thereafter, the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee, the authority responsible for promulgating the JTR, issued Joint Determination, number 46-70, dated December 22, 1970, which was subsequently ineorporated in the JTR by change number 65. The Joint Determi- nation established specific per diem rates for employees attending training courses at various military installations effective January 1, 1971. The rate established for training courses at Ft. Eustis, Vir- ginia, was $21. I D - - 1 b ?L CU
