Bailey III - Relocation Travel with Matterof: Temporary Duty En route File: B-230472 Date: March 16, 1989 DIGEST 1. A transferred employee who performed temporary duty travel en route to his new duty station rented an apartment from a fellow employee who owned and rented apartments as a business sideline. The agency limited the employee's per diem to the subsistence portion (50 percent), since under agency regulations such lodgings must be considered noncommercial. On appeal, we hold that the lodging cost may be allowed since the fact that the owner of commercial lodgings is a friend, acquaintance, or a fellow employee does not automatically make those accommodations noncommer- cial. See also Peter Lalic, B-227430, dated today. 2. The immediate family of a transferring employee accompanied him while he performed temporary duty en route to his new duty station. The agency computed their cost of travel and per diem on a constructive basis using the most direct route airline schedule. On appeal, the agency action is sustained. The Federal Travel Regulations permit indirect travel, but specifically provide that reimbursement for travel is limited to the cost of the most direct usually traveled route between old and new stations with per diem based on that routing. DECISION This decision is in response to a request from the Director, Alaskan Region, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), concerning the entitlement of Mr. John T. Bailey III, an FAA employee, to be reimbursed additional travel expenses incident to a permanent change of station and en route temporary duty travel. We conclude that he may be reim- bursed certain additional amounts for the following reasons.
