MATTER OF: Lawrence J. Hor ng, fr. - Mileage between
               residence and permanent duty station


DIGEST:


(Although for administrative purposes employee's
designated duty station was Patrick Air Force
Base,  Florida, his permanent duty station was
Cape  Canavaral Air Station, Florida, since he
performed virtually all duties there for0period
of  apT--iael    4 years, 5-months. T
employee is not entitled to mileage for com-
muting  between6ome and Cape Canavaral Air          -
Station by privately owned vehicle under JTR
and  Comptroller General decisions which-limit
mileage  to travel between residence and tempo-
rary  duty station.


     Mr. Lawrence J. Hornung, Jr., has asked us to reconsider the
disallowance of his claim for mileage payments based upon his travel
by privately owned motor vehicle to and from his residence and work-
place from February 12, 1973, to July 1, 1977. .The claim was dis-
allowed by our Claims Division's Settlement Certificate No. Z-2794373,
July 25, 1978.

     The issue is whether Mr. Hornung commuted between his residence
and permanent duty station by privately owned automobile or performed
temporary duty travel.

     Mr. Hornung states that while employed by the Air Force he
regularly commuted 82 miles by privately owned automobile between
his home near Melbourne, Florida, and his duty station at Cape
Canavaral Air Force Station, Florida. He contends that during the
period of his claim (February 12, 1973, through July 1, 1977) his
permanent duty station was Patrick Air Force Base, Florida. He also
contends that an SF-50 showing his official station as Cape Canavaral
Air Force Station effective July 20, 1975, did not reflect his duty
station since his organization was located at Patrick AFB. He,
therefore claims mileage on the ground that he performed travel be-
tween his residence and a temporary duty station.

     For the period in question, the applicable provisions of the
Joint Travel Regulations (JTR), Volume 2, were paragraphs C 3001
