MATTER OF;


Lieutenant


Colonel Roger E. lie Blannc


DIGEST;


Member who uses a privately owned vehicle
when called back from his residence to his
normal duty location to perform additional
ansignments is not entitled to reimbursement
for travel between these locations since
travel between a member's residence and his
normal duty station must be performed at
personal expense,


     This action is in response to   letter dated
March 24, 1981, with enclosures, from the Assistant
Comptroller for Finance and Accounting, Offlt'.e of
the Comptroller of the Army, requesting a decision
concerning the legality of reimbursing an Army member
for the use of a privately owned vehicle (PeV) in
traveling from his residence to his duty station
outside regular duty hours. The request was forwarded
here by endorsement dated Apr1l 16, 1981, from the
Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee,
The claim for transportation expenses is denied since
travel between a member's residence and place nf duty
is not regarded as travel on official business but is
the personal responsibility of the member.
     The submission involves Lieutenant Colonel Roger E.
Le Blanc, who is assigned to the Military Traffic Manage-
ment Command and is stationed at The Pentagon, Washington,
D.C. On July 18, 1981, the member was called back twice
to his station after normal working hours to perform
decoding assignments..In order to carry out this duty,
he made several trips between his residence in Fairfax,
Virginia, and his duty station in Washington, D.C.
Colonel Le Blanc filed a claim with the Finance and
Accounting Office in Bayonne, New Jersey, requesting
reimbursement for this travel at. the rate of 20 cents
a mile for a total of $11.60. The claim was subsequently
forwarded to the Office of the Comptroller of the Army
for consideration.
