Klavetter DIGEST: For personal convenience a Government employee traveled on temporary duty by pri- vately owned automobile and claimed mileage with per diem. The certifying officer com- puted reimbursement on a lower constructive cost basis derived from a coach airfare. The employee disputed availability of the service and fare at the time of travel, and contends an available Super Saver airfare contained objectionable restrictions. The agency has demonstrated, however, that the lower airfare was the established coach airfare (not a Super Saver fare involving added restric- tions) at the time travel was performed. Since the schedule used by the agency satis- fied travel needs, the lower constructive combined costs of transportation and per diem is the proper limitation for reimbursement. An authorized certifying officer of the Department of the Interiorl/ requests a decision on the proper computation of comparative cost reimbursement for an employee who used his privately owned automobile for temporary duty travel with cost reimbursement limited to coach airfare. Reimbursement should be limited to the coach airfare which was available when the travel was performed. Mr. Floyd L. Klavetter, an employee of Office of Surface Mining, Department of the Interior, was author- ized to travel on temporary duty from January 5 through January 13, 1984, for the purpose of attending a field office grants administration management review in Birmingham, Alabama. For his personal convenience, he was authorized to use a privately owned automobile to perform the travel. On his return he submitted a travel voucher which claimed lodging for 6 nights, meals for 1/ Jutta E. Partyka, Office of Surface Mining, Reclama- tion and Enforcement, Denver, Colorado, submitted this claim.
