                Comptroller General
                of the United States
          7     Washlngton, DC, 20548
                Decision



                Matter of:      Richard No.dc

                File:           B-,247382

                Date:          May 20, 1992


                DIGEST

                An employee on extended temporary duty received a temporary
                promotion that erroneously listed his t~mporary duty station
                as his permanent duty station, We hold that a temporary
                promotion while on extended temporary duty does not, in and
                of itself, effect a change of permanent duty station, that
                the employee is entitled to his temporary duty subsistence
                expenses, and that the Interior Department may correct its
                official documents to show the employee's correct permanent
                duty station.

                DECISION

                The Department of the Interior requests a decision on
                whether an employee on extended temporary duty who received
                a temporary promotion that erroneously listed his temporary
                duty station as his permanent duty station may be paid
                temporary duty subsistence expenses for the period
                involved.'For the following reasons, we hold that the
                employee is entitled to be reimbursed subsistence expenses.

                Mr. Richard Nold, is employed by the Department of the
                Interior as a GS-13 systems accountant with the Bureau of
                Reclamation in Denver, Colorado.    In January 1991, the
                Secretary of the Interior authorized a special project team
                to undertake financial management improvements in the Bureau
                of Indian Affairs in Albuquerque, New Mexico.    Mr. Nold was
                highly qualified and was selected to be one of the team
                members.  Since the estimated relocation costs were
                averaging in excess of $40,000 per employee, the Interior
                Department decided that it would be in the best interests of
                the government to place Mr. Nold on detail to this project


                'This request was submitted by Mr. William Bettenberg,
                Deputy Assistant Secretary - Indian Affairs. The period
                involved in this claim is from May 5 to September 1, 1991,
                and the transportation and subsistence expenses amount to
                $9,086.
