The agency regulation is consistent with statutory language, and neither arbitrary nor unreasonable. Thus, ouir Office will not question such regulation as being beyond agency's authority. Claim is denied. Is a Federal employee at a temporary duty site who took annual leave due to personal circumstances entitled to reimbursement for transportation expenses to and from her parents' home during the period of leave? For the reasons stated below, we conclude that the employee is not entitled to reimbursement. This decision is in response to an appeal by Mrs. Sarah S. Ivey from the action of our Claims Group on June 30, .1980, Settlement Certificate No. Z-2824216, which denied her claim for transportation expenses. The facts of this case are not in dispute. Mrs. Ivey is an employee of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Her official duty station is in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and her residence is in Wilmington, Delaware. She was originally detailed on temporary duty (TDY) to Pittsburgh for 4 consecutive weeks beginning March 3, 1980. Personal circumstances, however, altered her itinerary. Her father was unexpectedly scheduled for surgery the week of March 10, 1980. She took 1 week of leave beginning late on Friday afternoon, March 7, 1980, and ending Sunday, March 16, 1.980, during which time she stayed in Greensboro, North Carolina, at her parents' home. Her travel plans were known to her manager prior to departure.
