DECISION





FILE: B-210660


                            ./ C.
THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OF THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON. D.C. 20548 9 6-.



      DATE:  September 27, 1983


MATTER OF: Joe B. Knight


DIGEST:


An employee of Navy reported to duty at
various worksites without reporting first
to his nearby headquarters. He resided at
temporary lodgings in that area and claims
mileage to and from his permanent residence
which during the period of the claim, he
visited twice each week. The employee may
not be paid mileage for travel between a
distant residence to which he does not com-
mute on a daily basis and an alternate work-
site in the vicinity of his headquarters
station.


     The issue presented in this case is whether a
civilian employee of the Department of the Navy is en-
titled to mileage for travel twice a week between his
residence and an alternate worksite near his headquar-
ters when he does not report to his headquarters. On
days he did not return to his residence he secured tem-
porary accommodations in the vicinity of his headquar-
ters and alternate worksite. The employee is not en-
titled to mileage between his distant residence and the
alternate worksite in the vicinity of his headquarters.

     Mr. Joe B. Knight appeals the settlement of our
Claims Group which denied his claim for a mileage allow-
ance for travel between his residence in New Bern, North
Carolina, and his duty station at Little Creek, Vir-
ginia. For the past several years, Mr. Knight has been
employed by the Superintendent of Shipbuilding, Conver-
sion and Repair, United States Navy, Portsmouth, Vir-
ginia. Instead of reporting to Portsmouth or any single
location, he has reported directly to different repair
facilities.

     From May 1979 until March 1981, Mr. Knight was
temporarily assigned duty at New Bern, North Carolina,
approximately 145 miles from his headquarters in Ports-
mouth. During this assignment, he purchased a residence
in New Bern. From March 30 until August 31, 1981, he
was assigned to Naval Amphibious Base, Little Creek,
