MATTER   OF: Anthony P. DeVito - Delayed Travel
            ___---_            Authorization


DIGEST:   1. Employee traveled from Washington, D. C.
             to Detroit, Michigan, in 1975 and returned
             in 1979 pursuant to an extended Intergovern-
             mental Personnel Act (IPA) assignment.
             No travel orders were issued until after all
             travel was completed and employee failed to
     4       submit claim f6r reimbursement until his
             return in 1979. Because his IPA contract
             provides general authority for payment,
             travel authorization could be issued. How-
             ever, payment of expenses must be supported
             by proper itemization of expenditures and
             receipts required by regulations in effect
             at time travel was actually performed.

          2.  Claim for 30 days temporary quarters subsis-
              tence expenses submitted 4 years after expenses
              were incurred must be disallowed unless sup-
              ported by receipts from hotel and contempo-
              raneous itemization of other expenses. FTR
              para. 2-5.4b.

          3.  Employee returning from Intergovernmental
              Personnel Act assignment by commercially
              rented vehicle is entitled only -to the construc-
              tive cost of travel by privately owned vehicle
              or common  carrier, as applicable, unless it
              can be demonstrated that agency had determined
              prior to his departure that consistent with FTR
              para. 1-2. 2c(4), it would be more advantageous
              to Government for him to travel by commercially
              rented vehicle.
