OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. 0 C 20548 FILE: B-197336 MATTER OF: DIGEST: DATE: January 28, 1981 Department of Energy and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers - Use of Privately Owned Vehicles in Commuting to Remote Worksites 1. Western Area Power Administration, DOE, provided transportation by small chartered aircraft to remote temporary duty worksites located approximately 175 to 300 miles from employees' official duty station. Employees who, because of hazard involved, fear of flying, and unavailability of Government owned vehicles, elected to drive their POV's to and from worksites, are entitled to reimbursement of mileage at the rate specified in para. 1-4.2a, FTR. 2. Claimants, who drove to remote tempo- rary duty worksites in lieu of travel- ing by chartered aircraft, are not entitled t-o overtime compensation, while driving, under authority of title 5, U.S.C., or Fair Labor Standards Act. Employees who elect to drive their POV's may do so during regular working hours but only to extent such driving time does not exceed time required during regular duty hours-to transport other employees to and from worksites by agency-selected mode of transportation. Any additional traveltime during regular duty hours is chargeable to annual leave. Accordingly, such emolovees may arrive at, and leave, the worksites at the same time as employees using Government chartered aircraft. This decision is in response to a joint request by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), Local Union No. 640, and the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), Department of Energy, for a decision in lieu of arbitration. We are asked certain questions which have arisen in regard to the use of privately owned vehicles by wage board employees I IL13kor~ 4: , Z 4!: tQ 2 Q-/ / -7- / /
