Wells - Temporary Matterof: Duty - Long-Term Assignments File: B-231520 Date: June 2, 1989 DIGEST Two Interior Department employees, who were assigned to temporary duty on the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island project, may be paid per diem even though their assignments may last 2 to 3 years. These assignments can be considered temporary duty given the nature of the duties and the fact that the project is time-limited even though it has encountered unanticipated delays beyond the control of the agency. See Edward W. DePiazza, B-234262, dated today. DECISION This decision is in response to a request by the Department of the Interior concerning per diem payments to two Interior Department employees who have been on long-term temporary duty assignments at the Statute of Liberty/Ellis Island Project Office.l/ We conclude that these two employees may be paid per diem for this assignment; it does not require a permanent change of station. BACKGROUND The two Interior employees involved in this case are Mr. Peter Dessauer, an architect, and Mr. Richard E. Wells, a construction manager. They have been assigned to monitor and inspect the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island rehabilita- tion project. Both employees' permanent duty stations are in Denver, Colorado, and they have been on temporary duty travel status since their assignments to this project in 1986 and 1987, respectively. l/ The request was submitted by Mr. Mark D. Hooper, Chief, Branch of Accounts Payable, National Park Service, Department of the Interior, Denver, Colorado. c 4/<>06
