Foster DIGEST: A Navy employee claims mileage for travel from home to work. As part of his assigned duties as a handler of a Drug Detection Dog, he transports it in his privately-owned automobile between his residence and permanent duty station. He claims mileage on the basis that his com- muting expenses increased by the require- ment to transport the dog because he was deprived of cost advantages of public transportation or carpooling. Disallow- ance of the claim is sustained, because employees must bear the cost of transpor- tation between their residence and duty station absent statutory or regulatory authority to the contrary. This is a review of action taken by our Claims Group denying the claim presented by Richard H. Foster for daily round-trip mileage for the transportation of a Drug Detec- tion Dog in his privately-owned automobile between his resi- dence and duty station. We sustain the disallowanceI of Mr. Foster's claim because the primary function of the transportation was for commuting, a personal responsibility which may not be reim- bursed under the law and regulations. Facts Mr. Foster was employed by the Navy as a team leader of a narcotics interdiction team and as a Drug Detection Dog handler. His regularly assigned duties at the Naval Air Station, Alameda, California, involved the handling of a dog 1our Claims Group disallowed the claim, No. Z-2827618, by Settlement Certificate, dated March 19, 1982.
