Gasa -- Reimbursement of Parking Permit DIGEST: Employee may not be reimbursed for the cost of a monthly parking permit which he was unable to use near his permanent duty sta- tion because of a temporary duty (TDY) assignment in another locale. Such a cost is a personal expense and there is no basis upon which it would become a Government obligation upon the assignment of an employee to TDY. This decision is in response to a request for an advance decision by Ms. Margaret E. Wenzel, an authorized certifying officer of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Chicago, Illinois. The issue. presented is whether an employee may be reimbursed for the cost of a monthly park- ing permit which he was unable to use near his permanent duty station because of a temporary duty (TDY) assignment in another locale. For the following reasons, we hold that the cost of a monthly parking permit is in the nature of a personal expense and there is no basis upon which such cost would become a Government obligation upon the assignment of an employee to TDY. Mr. William M. Gasa is an IRS employee whose perma- nent duty station is Chicago, Illinois. He usually com- mutes to his office by driving his privately owned vehicle from his residence to a train station, parking the auto- mobile, and taking a commuter train to downtown Chicago. He pays a monthly parking fee of $15, which must be paid on a quarterly basis. On June 20, 1983, shortly after purchasing his quarterly permit for the months of July, August, and September 1983, he was advised that he would be detailed to Lombard, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, for an indefinite period of time. As of October 13, 1983, the date of his claim, Mr. Gasa was still on his temporary detail, and so was unable to use the parking permit. On the voucher submitted, Mr. Gasa claims reimbursement of the $45 fee for the value of the parking permit which he was unable to use. o 2S1I
