 DECISION .               OF  THE   UNITED STATES

ATTER OF.Temporary Lodging Allowance


Where a member of the uniformed services
lives with his dependents in the vicinity
of his duty station outside the United
States and the duty station is reclassified
from nonrestricted to restricted thereby
requiring the dependents to be relocated
to a designated place outside the United
States or in Hawaii or Alaska, the Joint
Travel Regulations may be amended to
provide the member a temporary lodging
allowance for his dependents at the new
designated location. To the extent this
conflicts with 50 Comp. Gen. 83, that
decision will no longer be followed.


     The issue is whether in our decision, Station
Housing and Cost-of-Living Allowances (Station Housing),
B-193787, February 5, 1979, we intended to allow for
the payment of a temporary lodging allowance (TLA) to
a member for his dependents when the dependents, who
are residing in the vicinity of a member's duty station,
are relocated incident to the member's duty station
being declared a restricted area. For the following
reasons TLA may be paid in the above circumstances.

     The issue was raised by letter of March 22, 1979,
from the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Manpower,
Reserve Affairs and Logistics).

     In our decision Station Housing, we were
asked to decide 'the propriety of amending the
Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) to provide for
the payment of station housing and cost-of-living
allowances to members for their dependents who
were relocated under 37 U.S.C. 406(h)(1976) to
a designated place outside the United States or
in Hawaii or Alaska incident to the reclas-
sification of the members' duty station from
an unrestricted area to a restricted area.
There we stated that in the described circumstances
appropriate allowances under 37 U.S.C. 405 (1976)
