Knight DIGEST: For the purpose of mileage reimbursement under Volume 2, Joint Travel Regulations, para. C2153, the terms residence and place of abode refer to the place from which an employee regularly commutes. Thus, an employee who commutes from tempo- rary lodging to alternate work sites in the vicinity of his official headquarters is entitled to mileage only between the work sites and the temporary lodging, not between the work sites and a residence 160 miles away. Joe B. Knight, B-210660, Septem- ber 27, 1983, affirmed. This decision responds to Mr. Knight's request, through his attorney, that we reconsider our decision, Joe B. Knight, B-210660, September 27, 1983, which dis- allowed his claim for mileage incident to travel between his home in New Bern, North Carolina, and a duty station located in Little Creek, Virginia (about 160 miles one way). Mr. Knight was found not to be entitled to mile- age for travel between his distant residence from which he did not commute daily and his alternate work site in the vicinity of his headquarters station. We affirm. Mr. Knight has been employed for several years by the Superintendent of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair, United States Navy, Portsmouth, Virginia. Rather than reporting to Portsmouth or any single loca- tion, he has reported directly to several different repair facilities. Between May 1979 and March 1981, he was temporarily assigned duty at New Bern, North Carolina, approximately 145 miles from Portsmouth. During this assignment he purchased a residence in New Bern. From March through August 1981 he was assigned to the Naval Amphibious Base, Little Creek, Virginia, and beginning in September 1981 he was assigned to Norfolk Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, Norfolk, Virginia. Both Norfolk and Little Creek are less than 25 miles n0e c74 4 50:o~c
