           Matter of. Privately Owned Vehicles - Mileage and Per Diem
                     B-232370
           File:

           Date:     May 10, 1989
           DIGEST

           1. An employee, transferred from Fairbanks, Alaska, to
           Washington, D.C., was initially authorized to drive one
           privately owned vehicle (POV), to be accompanied by his wife
           and dependent child, with a second dependent child to travel
           by air at a later date. His travel authorization was
           amended to permit delayed relocation travel by his wife
           using a second POV, to be accompanied by the second
           dependent child. Employee was allowed mileage only for
           first POV. Under paragraph 2-2.3e(l) of the Federal Travel
           Regulations, use of more than one POV in lieu of other modes
           of personal transportation may be authorized under certain
           specified conditions. Since the conditions were met and
           agency approval was granted, mileage for the second POV is
           allowed.

           2. An employee, transferred from Fairbanks, Alaska, to
           Washington, D.C., by amendment to his travel authorization,
           was authorized to use two privately owned vehicles (POV), to
           transport himself and his immediate family, based on his
           wife's need to delay her relocation travel. The employee
           drove one POV and was paid travel per diem at the full rate.
           His wife, who drove the second POV at a later date, was
           allowed per diem only at the accompanied rate (75 percent of
           full per diem). Under paragraph 2-2.2b(l)(b) of the Federal
           Travel Regulations, per diem at the full rate applies to her
           since she drove a second POV as an authorized mode of
           transportation on different days than the employee.


           DECISION

           This decision is in response to a request from an Authorized
           Certifying Officer, Bureau of Land Management (BLM),
           Department of the Interior.l/ The question asked is whether
           an employee may be reimbursed mileage and en route per diem
