handle is hein.gao/gaobadjqg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: DECISION FILE: B-201716 THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. 0.C. 20548 DATE: August 12, 1981 MATTER OF: Travel Allowances Upon Recall from Extended Leave DIGES7: Current regulations which limit a service member's entitlement to return travel and transportation expenses upon recall from authorized leave of 5 days or more due to urgent unforeseen circum- stances only if recall is within 24 hours of depar- ture from the duty station, may be amended to au- thorize entitlement for recalls after 24 hours. Such amendment should set forth definite criteria to be followed if authorization of expenses is to be allowed after 24 hours. This case concerns whether a military member on an authorized leave of absence for over 5 days who is recalled to duty due to urgent unforeseen circumstances may receive return travel and transportation expenses if the recall is more than 24 hours after his departure. As will be explained, the Joint Travel Regulations, which presently pre- clude reimbursement for recalls more than 24 hours after the member's departure, may be amended to allow return travel and transportation expenses for recalls after 24 hours, under certain circumstances. The case was submitted for an advance decision by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Manpower, Reserve Affairs & Logistics), and was assigned Control No. 80-34 by the Per Diem, Travel and Transpor- tation Allowance Committee. Volume 1 of the Joint Travel Regulations (1 JTR) paragraph M6601-1 states in pertinent part: * * * when a member departs from a permanent station for the purpose of taking an authorized leave of absence of 5 days or more and, because of an urgent unforeseen circumstance, it is necessary to cancel the member's authorized leave status and recall the member to duty at the permanent station within 24 hours after departure therefrom, travel and transportation allowances will be authorized as provided in subpar. 2. * * * Paragraph M6602-1 is essentially identical to the above except that it applies to recall from leave to duty at a temporary duty station rather than permanent station. Neither paragraph M6601-1 nor paragraph I O0 I
