C. 20548 DATE: :ovember 24, 1982 MATTER OF: Warren Shapiro DIGEST: 1. Civilian employee of the Department of Defense is not entitled to additional per diem for travel by privately owned vehicle in connection with a perma- nent change of station from the United States to an overseas post since he has already received the maximum amount allowed under the regulations for that portion of his travel. The fact that he left his former duty station early to deliver his auto- mobile to the port for shipment does not permit the increase in the number of days authorized for per diem payments under the applicable regulations. 2.

He was authorized to travel by Government or commercial air carrier or by personally owrned vehicle from St. Louis to Oakland, California, from which point his automobile was to be shipped to Seoul. His travel orders also provided for the sub- sistence expense portion of a foreign transfer allowance, not to exceed 10 days, as authorized by regulation. The record indicates that on September 9 and 10, 1981, when his household goods were being packed for shipment, Mr. Shapiro
