                                 CHAPTER II

                     GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND PROCEDURES


1.  TYPES OF TRAVEL AUTHORIZATIONS.

    a.  Unlimited Open Authorizations.  This type of authorization is not
        used by AL.

    b.  Limited Open Authorizations permit an individual to travel without
        further authorization under certain specified conditions such as for
        a specified purpose within certain geographic areas, specified
        limitations on trip costs, and a specified period of time.  Within
        these guidelines, limited open authorizations will only be approved
        for use by employees whose work requires frequent repetitive travel
        (defined as at least 36 travel days per year).  The Director, FMD,
        may approve, on a case-by-case basis, limited open authorizations
        for travel less than 36 days when unusual circumstances prevail,
        such as emergency response travel.

    c.  Trip-by-Trip Authorizations permit an individual, or groups of
        individuals to take one or more specific trips identified as to
        purpose, itinerary, and estimated cost.  Conference attendance,
        training, change of official station, and overseas and foreign
        travel, shall be authorized on a trip-by-trip basis.

2.  DINERS CLUB GOVERNMENT CHARGE CARD PROGRAM.

    a.  General.

        (1)  AL participates in, and uses, the Government Charge Card
             Program as the primary method for financing official business
             travel.  Employees traveling on official business two or more
             times per year are eligible to participate in the program; the
             program is mandatory for employees traveling four or more times
             per year.  In addition, FMD will process the application of any
             employee who requests enrollment in the program.  Enrollment is
             achieved by completing the Diners Club Government Card Program,
             Employee Card Account Application (Exhibit 1), and Employee
             Acknowledgment Form (Exhibit 2).

        (2)  Employees are required to familiarize themselves with AL travel
             policies and procedures related to the use of the card paving
             particular attention to employee responsibilities and
             obligations, before signing the Employee acknowledgment Form.

    b.  Program Implementation.  The General Services Administration (GSA),
        DOE Headquarters, and AL Manager have approved the implementation of
        the program and the use of the Government Charge Card by all
        eligible employees serviced by the AL travel function.  This program
        is mandatory, and exceptions to its use will be granted by the
        Director, FMD, only on the basis of the most unusual individual
        circumstances.

    c.  Use of the Card.  Government Charge Cardholders will use the card to
        pay commercial facilities for subsistence expenses and other
        allowable travel expenses incurred in connection with official
        business travel.  Charges in excess of authorized and allowable
        travel expenses; i.e, lodging and/or meal costs which exceed maximum
        daily rates and reimbursement limitations, are the financial
        responsibility of the employee.

    d.  Card Restrictions.

        (1)  Possession and use of the card does not relieve employees of
             prudent travel practices as set forth in Federal, DOE, and AL
             Travel Regulations.  Common carrier transportation tickets
             should be acquired through the use of the Government
             Transportation Request (GTR) or, as applicable, the Diners Club
             Government Transportation System (GTS).  Employees possessing
             cards are not exempt from utilizing Government city-pair
             contract carriers, American Flag Carriers, and less than first
             class accommodations by the direct usually traveled route.
             Individual cards may be used for common carrier transportation
             expenses involving emergency or redirected travel.

        (2)  Travel on official business shall be by the method of
             transportation which will result in the greatest advantage to
             the Government, cost and other factors considered.

    e.  Billing.

        (1)  A separate account will be established in the name of each
             individual cardholder.  Diners Club will mail a monthly billing
             statement directly to the employee.  Payment in full is due
             within 25 days of the statement date.  Employees are personally
             liable for all charges which have been incurred, regardless of
             whether or not they exceed the amount which a traveler is
             entitled to be reimbursed under the DOE travel regulations.

        (2)  A statement will be issued when expenditures are incurred or
             when a credit is posted to the account.  If a monthly statement
             is not received, employees may contact Citicorp Diners Club
             Government Accounts Division directly at 800-525-5289.  A
             receipt copy of charges will be included with the Diners Club
             billing statement when the service establishment submits
             charges to Diners Club.  If the service establishment submits
             charges to Diners Club in magnetic tape, the charges will be
             descriptively listed on the statement in lieu of a record of
             charge.

    f.  Employee Responsibilities.

        (1)  DOE Employee Conduct Regulations require employees to pay each
             just financial obligation in a proper and timely manner.  AL
             will receive delinquent reports from Diners Club requesting
             corrective action be taken if the employee falls to pay the
             bill in a proper and timely manner.  This action may include
             the withdrawal of the card and restrictions on travel advances
             for future travel.

        (2)  Employees are required to promptly submit travel vouchers
             following completion of official travel to assure adequate time
             is available to process the claim and receive reimbursement
             before the Diners Club bill is due.  Employees are not relieved
             of their responsibilities to Diners Club because of delays in
             submitting travel vouchers and receiving reimbursements.

    g.  Disputed Charges.  Disputed Charges may be resolved by:

        (1)  Calling Diners Club Government Accounts Division toll free at
             800-525-5289, or

        (2)  Sending a letter to Citicorp Diners Club Government Accounts
             Division, P.O. Box 5064, Denver, Colorado, 80217, describing
             the circumstances surrounding the dispute.

        (3)  Diners Club will need the following information:  Employee's
             name and account number, reference number of the disputed
             charge, establishment where charges were incurred, amount of
             charge, and statement date.

    h.  Security of the Card.  Employees will receive the card at their home
        address or individual post office box, and will be responsible for
        exercising the same responsibility for the security of the card and
        number as they would with a personal charge card.  The card shall
        not be kept by a secretary or supervisor.  Employees are encouraged
        to black out the charge card number from any required receipts
        submitted with the Travel Voucher.

    i.  Lost or Stolen Cards.

        (1)  If a Diners Club card is lost or stolen, employees must
             immediately call the following number(s) which are operational
             24 hours a day:

             (a)  Metropolitan Denver - (303) 779-8235;

             (b)  In Colorado, other than metropolitan Denver call toll-free
                  800-525-9150;

             (c)  In the continental United States, call toll-free
                  800-25-9150;

             (d)  In Alaska, Canada, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean,
                  call collect to 303-779-8235; and

             (e)  If a card is lost or stolen outside of these areas, notify
                  the nearest Citicorp Diners Club Office.

        (2)  Employees are not liable for any fraudulent charges if the card
             is lost or stolen, provided the Diners Club is promptly
             notified.  Employees may be required to review any charges
             considered fraudulent and sign an affidavit of forgery stating
             they did not incur the charges.  All charges will be the
             employees responsibility should they refuse to sign the
             affidavit.  A replacement Diners Club card will be mailed
             within 24 hours if the card has been lost or stolen within the
             United States or Canada.  While-you-wait replacement of lost
             cards will be available at designated Diners Club offices
             overseas and in the Washington, D.C. area office.

    j.  Return of the Card.  Employees resigning, retiring, transferring to
        another Government agency, or transferring between DOE offices (as
        distinguished from internal AL transfers); or who are directed to
        return the card must cut the card in half and return both halves to
        FMD, Travel Unit, for cancellation.  Employees will not be cleared
        through FMD until the above action is taken.

    k.  Cardholder Assistance.  Employee questions may be referred to Diners
        Club Government Services at toll-free 800-525-9441 or 800-525-5289.
        Questions concerning DOE and AL finance and travel policies or
        general questions concerning the Government-wide charge card program
        may be referred to the FMD Travel Unit Diners Club Coordinators at
        844-6994 or 846-4147.

        area stationed employees only).

    b.  Local Travel.

        (1)  "Travel Authorization," DOE F 1510.1A, is not required for
             travel of less than 10 hours between Albuquerque and Los
             Alamos, New Mexico, via Ross Aviation flights.  The official
             passenger manifest will constitute acceptable evidence of the
             official nature of the trip.

        (2)  Only the transportation and parking expenses incurred by
             employees which are in excess of the expenses of commuting to

5.  ADVANCE OF FUNDS FOR TRAVEL AND TRANSPORTATION.

    a.  Travelers with Government Charge Cards.  Employees issued a
        Government Charge Card may not elect to receive a travel advance in
        lieu of using the card.  Cash advances will be issued to cover
        travel expenses not normally purchased with a charge card such as
        ground transportation, parking, laundry fees, tips, and light meals.
        Cash advances will be limited to 530 per day for each day in
        official travel status.  Based on an employee's request attached to
        the travel authorization, the Chief, Accounting Branch, may
        authorize additional cash advances on a case-by-case basis when it
        is determined that no suitable lodgings, rental car agencies, or
        eating establishments are available at the official temporary duty
        station which accept the card.

    b.  Travelers without Government Charge Cards.  The maximum cash advance
        for domestic and foreign travel shall not exceed 80 percent of the
        minimum out-of-pocket expenses rounded to the nearest $5 that the
        employee is expected to incur prior to reimbursement.  For
        estimating purposes, whenever the costs of the traveler's hotel
        accommodations are known at the time the travel authorization is
        prepared, those costs should be added to the applicable M&IE rates
        to arrive at the estimated per diem allowance rather than basing the
        estimated subsistence on the maximum per diem allowance for this
        location.  This amount may be augmented by the estimated cost of
        special conveyances and other authorized special items.

        (1)  Advances will be granted under usual conditions when the
             requirement amounts to $50.00 or more.  Under unusual
             circumstances, an advance of less than $50.00, but in no event
             less than $10.00 may be approved.

        (2)  The maximum amount that may be advanced from the AL FMD Imprest
             Fund is $500.00.  Advances in excess of this amount will be
             processed for payment via check from the Regional Disbursing
             Center, San Francisco.

        (3)  Advances for local travel will not be issued except in cases
             where employees have been issued travel authorizations.

    c.  Foreign Travel and Extended Stays at Temporary Duty Stations.
        Advances for travel to foreign countries and for extended stays at
        temporary duty stations will be computed without regard to whether
        an employee possesses a Government Charge Card.  Advances for
        extended stays at temporary duty stations will normally be 80
        percent of the total estimated cost for a two-month period.

    d.  Obtaining Advances.

        (1)  To obtain a cash advance, the amount required must be stated in
             Item 19 of DOE-F-1510.1A, Travel Authorization.  Following
             approval, the traveler must sign for and pick up the advance in
             person from the Agent Cashier, Office Operations Section, FMD,
             between the hours of 8:00 - 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 - 4:00 p.m.,
             not earlier than one workday prior to the scheduled departure
             or same day if departure is after 12:00 noon.

        (2)  Check advances from the Treasury Regional Disbursing Center,
             San Francisco, will be requested on Form DOE F 1510.1A or SF
             1038, whichever is applicable.  If a check advance is required,
             requests should be received in FMD at least 10 workdays in
             advance in order to reach the traveler on the required date.

        (3)  Approving officials and employees outside the proximity of AL
             Headquarters are expected to schedule official travel such that
             ample time is available for processing check advances through
             the Regional Treasury Disbursing Center in time to reach
             employees on the required date.  Contractor advances to
             employees are permitted only in emergency situations.

6.  OUTSTANDING ADVANCES.

    a.  Employees shall liquidate outstanding advances by submitting a
        travel voucher within 10 calendar days following completion of the
        trip by employees who make occasional trips or promptly at the end
        of each month for employees who travel regularly.

    b.  "Dunning" letters will be issued to employees who have outstanding
        travel advances or are indebted to the Government for more than 30
        days.

    c.  An "Aging of Outstanding Travel Advances Report" will be issued
        monthly to Heads of Divisions and Offices reflecting The status of
        unliquidated travel advances.  Except in the most  unusual
        circumstances, further advances will not be granted to an employee
        who has an outstanding advance over 60 days delinquent.

    d.  Collection action may be initiated through payroll deduction if
        prompt action is not taken to repay outstanding advances following
        notice of delinquency.

7.  GOVERNMENT TRANSPORTATION REQUESTS (GTRs).

    a.  AL has determined that a more efficient and economical
        transportation source and control can be effected by permitting a
        designated agent to sign GTRs in lieu of the traveler.  Designated
        agents for this purpose have been appointed.

    b.  GTRs and GTS accounts are to be used to procure all passenger
        transportation services costing in excess of $10.00.  Travelers may
        pay cash for domestic passenger transportation up to $500.00 plus
        tax for each trip.  Travelers may use their individual Diners Club
        Government charge card in lieu of GTRs to procure common carrier
        transportation serves when emergency or unusual circumstances
        dictate.

    c.  Travelers must submit a request to FMD for approval to use cash to
        procure transportation services costing in excess of $100.00.
        (Exhibit 8.)  A detailed justification of the emergency
        circumstances requiring the use of cash in excess of $100.00 is to
        be included.  The Director, FMD, will approve emergency cash
        purchases of transportation in excess of $100.00 and submit the
        required documentation to GSA for audit and will coordinate that
        approval of nonemergency cash purchases of transportation in excess
        of $100.00.

    d.  Travelers are not to attempt to secure cash refunds on unused
        tickets, or portions thereof, which have been obtained with GTRs.
        Unused tickets, or portions thereof, shall be submitted to the
        Office Operations Section, FMD, for processing of a refund.

8.  GOVERNMENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM (GTS).

    a.  The Diners Club Government Transportation System (GTS) will be used
        for official travel by AL divisions and offices which are not
        serviced by SATO located at AL.  However, travelers on official
        business may use their individual Diners Club Government Charge Card
        to procure common carrier transportation services when emergency or
        unusual travel circumstances dictate.

    b.  The GTS may not be used for personal travel, rental cars, or
        lodging.

    c.  Travelers are responsible for promptly returning completely, unused
        and partially unused tickets to the issuing office for the
        appropriate refund credit.  Copies of the passenger coupon for
        partially used tickets must be submitted with the travel voucher.

9.  FREQUENT FLYER PROGRAM.

    a.  General.  AL has implemented a frequent flyer program designed to
        significantly supplement AL's limited travel resources with only
        minimal inconvenience to travelers or beads of Divisions and
        Offices.

    b.  Program Implementation.  Employees traveling on commercial airlines
        an average of one trip per month are eligible for and expected to
        participate in this mandatory program.  Exceptions to its use will
        be granted by the Director, FMD, on the basis of the most unusual
        circumstances.

    c.  Program Coordination.

        (1)  Financial Management Division will provide overall program
             coordination including frequent flyer identification,
             enrollment, conversion of individual accounts to
             AL-administered accounts, reporting, and ticket redemptions.

        (2)  Management Support Division, through SATO, will maintain and
             record frequent flyer identification numbers with each
             reservation, record mileage earned, prepare reports on the
             status of frequent flyer accounts, and coordinate the pick-up

        (3)  Heads of Divisions and Offices will provide administrative
             oversight including monitoring frequent flyer mileage earned by

             Divisions and Offices.

             trip coach ticket.

        (2)  Airline tickets issued in conjunction with this program are
             available for use only on official business.

        (3)  AL employees may retain for their own use such benefits as free

             redemption is required), memberships in clubs, check cashing
             privileges, or similar benefits considered to have no intrinsic
             value to the Government including reduced-cost first-class
             upgrades purchased at the employee's own expense.

10. FIRST CLASS ACCOMMODATIONS.  AL employees who use commercial air
    carriers for domestic and international travel on official business

        (3)  Vouchers shall be approved (signed) by authorized official
             initially granting administrative approval on the travel

    e.  Settlement.  Claims of employees will normally be scheduled for

                                 CHAPTER III

                           MODES OF TRANSPORTATION


1.  GENERAL.  AL travelers and others performing U.S. Government-financed
    foreign air travel are required to use U.S. Flag Air Carriers whenever
    they are reasonably available.  Foreign air carries may be used only
    when a U.S. Flag Air Carrier is unavailable, or use will not accomplish
    the Department's mission.  The fact that the employee was unaware of the
    cost of unjustified use of a foreign air carrier.

2.  COMMON CARRIER.

    a.  Common carrier transportation (except in-route changes) shall be
        scheduled through SATO for AL Headquarters-stationed employees or
        through the authorized servicing organization for employees
        duty-stationed outside Albuquerque.

    b.  Contract air services shall be used except when the use of
        non-contract air service is approved by the cognizant Head of
        Division or Office and justified on the travel authorization.  The
        use of the non-contract air service may be justified on the basis of
        one of the following:

        (1)  Space on a scheduled flight was not available in time to
             accomplish the purpose of the travel; or

        (2)  Cost comparison substantiated the cost effectiveness working of
             non-contract service; or

        (3)  Carrier's schedule required travel outside normal working hours
             to accomplish the purpose of the travel.

3.  PRIVATELY-OWNED CONVEYANCES (Regulations).

    a.  Basic Government Regulations.  It is the policy of AL to provide
        Government vehicles (if available) when travel by automobile is
        required.

    b.  Privately-Owned Vehicles - Travel to Los Alamos.  The use of
        contract airline services generally results in the least costly and
        most expeditious method of travel to Los Alamos.  Privately-owned
        vehicle travel to Los Alamos may only be authorized as advantageous
        to the Government when contract airline services or ground
        transportation do not meet mission-essential activities and a
        Government vehicle is not available or when such use represents a
        cost savings to the Government.

    c.  Private Airplanes and Motorcycles.  It is AL policy to discourage
        employees from using private airplanes or motorcycles in the
        performance of official temporary duty travel.  The Assistant
        Manager for Management and Administration must administratively
        approve official travel where private airplanes or motorcycles are
        requested as the mode of transportation.  This policy does not apply
        to local travel involving motorcycles.

    d.  Constructive Cost Rules.

        (1)  Modes of Transportation for Comparison.  The constructive cost
             of the lowest Government rate in airplanes will be used for
             making constructive cost comparisons regardless of space
             availability.  In determining the constructive cost comparison,
             the usual costs to and from the common carrier terminals may
             also be included.  Except for the use of taxicabs for travel to
             and from common carrier terminals, the cost of rental cars or
             taxicabs is not included in the constructive cost of the common
             carrier transportation.  Actual flight schedules shall be used
             to determine arrival and departure times at the temporary duty
             station (during or about normal duty hours) and to commence or
             cease per diem or actual subsistence.

        (2)  Privately-Owned Vehicle Travel to Los Alamos.  Reimbursement
             for privately-owned vehicle use for travel to Los Alamos which
             is not authorized as advantageous to the Government shall be
             limited to the usual costs to and from the common carrier
             terminal.

3.  GOVERNMENT-OWNED OR GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED VEHICLE.

    a.  General.  When a Government-owned automobile or other transportation
        equipment is used, its use shall be limited to essential official
        purposes.  This use must be specifically authorized and justified on
        the Travel Authorization.  However, the use of such an automobile
        for transportation to secure meals, laundry, medicines, or medical
        care will be considered to constitute an official use of the vehicle
        when it is evident that suitable services are not available at the
        point of lodging and travel is required in order to obtain such
        services.  Such use of a vehicle is justifiable only to the nearest
        place at which suitable service can be obtained.

    b.  Aircraft, Including Helicopters - Insurance Coverage.  "Trip
        Insurance" for DOE and other personnel on official business
        traveling via Ross Aviation, Inc., is available at the Albuquerque
        Airport and is an item of personal expense.

    c.  Expenses for Supplies and Service.

        (1)  Government credit cards may be obtained from the automotive
             pool from which a Government vehicle is issued.  The Federal
             Supply Schedule, for which Government credit cards are issued,
             covers service station lubricating services, alcohol or other
             anti-freeze products, air and oil filter elements, battery
             service, tire and tube repairs, cleaning of air or other
             filters, bashing of vehicles, emergency replacement of
             burned-out light bulbs and broken spark plugs, regular grade
             gasoline (low/no lead gasoline when approved for use in the
             vehicle, or premium grade only if authorized), diesel fuel, and
             lubricating oils.  It does not include the furnishing of
             parking space, tires, tubes, batteries, automobile accessories,
             or repairs other than those known in the automobile trade as
             "road repairs."

        (2)  The service station delivery ticket received when making credit
             card purchases must; in addition to showing the material
             obtained, quantity, and cost; also show the license number of
             the vehicle, the number of the credit card (including the
             suffix), and the cost code of the using organization.

        (3)  When AL personnel use a vehicle issued to them by any
             Government motor pool, they will comply with the instructions
             issued by that motor pool for obtaining services and supplies
             not available on credit cards.  These instructions should be
             obtained at the time of receiving the Government credit card.

    d.  Bonus Goods.

        (1)  Promotional items received by employees from airlines, car
             rental agencies, or other private sources while on official
             travel become the property of the United States Government.

        (2)  Employees who are members of an airline's frequent flyer
             program and who receive credit for official travel miles must
             inform the cognizant approving official prior to redeeming any
             mileage credits.

        (3)  Employees may not exchange mileage credit for accommodation
             upgrades.

        (4)  Employees may not use travel bonuses for personal travel even
             if the Government is unable to take advantage of the
             promotional award prior to its expiration.

        (5)  Employees may retain for their own use such benefits as free
             upgrades of service to  first class (for which no mileage
             redemption is required) memberships in clubs, check cashing
             privileges, or similar benefits considered to have no intrinsic
             value to the Government; also covered would be reduced-cost
             first class upgrades purchased at employee's expense.

        (6)  Questions concerning the acceptance of promotional material
             should be directed to the Office of Chief Counsel.

4.  SPECIAL CONVEYANCE (Commercial vehicles).

    a.  Rental car companies having flat-rate agreements are the primary
        source for rental cars to be used by AL employees in the conduct of
        official travel.  Current participating companies, toll-free
        numbers, and cost-by-day by-size information will be periodically
        published as an FMD announcement and will also be available from
        SATO.

    b.  Government travel orders, DOE identification cards, or rental
        company identification cards are acceptable as proof of eligibility
        for special rates.  Travel orders are acceptable in lieu of cash
        deposits.

    c.  Travelers shall select the class of rental cars which satisfactorily
        accomplishes the mission at the lowest cost to the Government.  Use
        of other than compact cars must be justified on the travel
        authorization.

    d.  Collision damage waiver (CDW) insurance is not a reimbursable item
        since the Government is self-insured.  In the event of damage to the
        vehicle, the traveler will not be required to bear the cost of
        repair and other costs if the traveler is on official business at
        the time of the accident.

    e.  Travelers involved in accidents should instruct the rental car
        company to bill the Department of Energy, Albuquerque Operations
        Office, P.O. Box 5400, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87115, and file
        appropriate reports with the Office of Chief Counsel.

    f.  Travelers are generally eligible for the flat rate when traveling
        officially or unofficially.  When a vehicle is rented for official
        business and is also used for personal business, the traveler must
        segregate the total cost, mileage, gas, and any other charges for
        the rental vehicle and bear the portion applicable to the personal
        use.

    g.  Travelers using rental vehicles may permit other travelers to drive
        the vehicle, provided prior permission of the rental agency is
        obtained.  Two or more drivers may ordinarily be listed on the
        rental form, upon request, when the vehicle is picked up.  The cost
        of listing additional drivers for personal convenience is a personal
        expense.

    h.  Travelers shall use their personal Government Charge Card or pay
        cash for official business vehicle rentals.

    i.  Assistance to travelers in dealing with rental agencies may be
        obtained from the Military Traffic Management Command at (202)
        756-1590.

             Alamos without charge on a space available basis.  Such travel
             will be restricted as follows:

             (a)  Military personnel enroute from their home base to Los
                  Alamos in a leave status may be transported from
                  Albuquerque to Los Alamos.

             (b)  Military personnel returning to their home base from a
                  leave status may be transported from Los Alamos to

        (3)  Passengers not holding reservations 3/4 hours prior to
             Albuquerque departure time of the originating flight will be
             handled on a standby, space-available basis only.

    e.  Taxi Service for Ross Aviation, Inc., Flights.  Taxi pick-ups for
        outgoing flights from Los Alamos and Albuquerque are normally made
        25 minutes (30 minutes - White Rock area) prior to the flight time.
        Passengers are urged to be ready when the taxi arrives.

                 to effectively fulfill the transportation requirement;

            (b)  The aircraft was scheduled to perform a bona fide mission
                 or training activity, and the minimum mission or training
                 requirements have not been exceeded;

            (c)  The failure to use the aircraft for administrative support
                 purposes would result in the failure to meet the minimum
                 mission or training requirements; or,

            (d)  The variable cost of using a Government-operated aircraft
                 is less than or equal to the cost of using commercial
                 aircraft or airline service.

7.  SPECIAL FLIGHT SERVICES FOR OFFICIAL CARGO.

    a.  Scope.  This paragraph supplements other regulatory requirements and
        prescribes policies and procedures governing the use of special and
        scheduled flight services for transporting priority cargo to support
        DOE weapons research, production, test, and service operations.

    b.  Policy.  DOE and DOE Contractor cargo, which cannot be transported
        commercially due to regulatory constraints or priority programmatic
        requirements, shall be transported on Ross scheduled or special
        flights.  If space is available on these flights, freight of
        opportunity should also be shipped whenever it is practicable to
        avoid unnecessary costs to the Government.

    c.  Requests for Air Freight Services.  DOE and DOE Contractor Traffic
        Managers shall make all arrangements for these services with Ross
        Operations.

    d.  Special Air Freight Flights.

        (1)  Official freight which  because of its nature or urgency is
             required to move by air and cannot be moved on scheduled Ross
             freight flights (Paragraph e. below), may be transported on
             special flights.

        (2)  Requests for special freight flights must include:

             (a)  Character of load;

             (b)  Hazard class;

             (c)  Security classification;

             (d)  Reliable estimated or actual shipping weights;

             (e)  Container dimensions;

             (f)  Constraints concerning date and flight arrangement
                  deviations;

             (g)  Destination contacts and/or authorized recipients, if
                  required (telephone number); and

             (h)  Preferred airport destination, when more than one airport
                  is available.

        (3)  Whenever excess space and weight capacity exists on a special
             flight, Ross Operations will notify DOE and DOE Contractor
             Traffic Managers; however, certain categories of freight mixes
             will be considered within the constraints associated with the
             existing nuclear, H.E., etc., cargo.

        (4)  If excess capacity exists on any special flight, other freight
             including freight of opportunity, may be shipped.  When special
             flight itineraries are extended beyond original special flight
             plans to accommodate other freight, a charge for the excess
             flight time will be billed to the shipper.

    e.  Scheduled Air Freight Flights.

        (1)  Hazardous, classified, and freight of opportunity to the extent
             that excess capacity exists, shall be transported on scheduled
             flights when such cargo must be shipped by air and can be
             delivered within the shipper's delivery date requirements.

        (2)  The service is available to the following users:

             Sandia National Laboratories
             Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
             Rockwell International, Rocky Flats Plant
             Los Alamos National Laboratory
             Mason & Hanger-Silas Mason Co., Pantex Plant
             Allied-Signal Inc., Kansas City Plant
             EG&G, Mound Applied Tech. Inc.,
             Mound Plant Martin Marietta, Y-12 Plant
             E. I. du Pont, Savannah River Plant
             General Electric, Pinellas Plant
             Other Government Agencies
             Others as approved by the Contracting Officer

        (3)  This service is funded and costed by the DOE and primary users
             of the Government-furnished aircraft.  Primary users share
             costs on a pro rata basis.  Secondary user charges are based on
             freight weights and distances carried.

        (4)  Scheduled Freight Routes:

             (a)  Monday    Albuquerque, NM; Desert Rock, NV; Tonopah Test
                            Range, NV; Livermore, CA; and Albuquerque, NM.

                  Tuesday   Albuquerque, NM; Jefferson County, Denver, Co;
                            and Albuquerque, NM.

                  Wednesday Albuquerque, NM; Amarillo, TX; Kansas City, MO;
                            Montgomery County, Dayton, ON; and Knoxville,
                            TN.

                  Thursday  As Required.

                  Friday    Knoxville, TN; Kansas City, MO; Amarillo, TX;
                            and Albuquerque, NM.

             (b)  This schedule will vary when TSD conducts special flights.
                  The Monday schedule will be accomplished on Saturday; the
                  Wednesday schedule will be accomplished on Monday.  A
                  second backup aircraft will operate on the normal schedule
                  as published, if required.

             (c)  Any destination, not listed in (4)(a) above, is
                  considered a "divert" from the schedule.  A divert charge
                  is determined by the direct one-way mileage from the end
                  of the route point (i.e., Livermore on the West Coast and
                  Knoxville on the East Coast) to the divert destination.
                  This mileage will be multiplied by the current one-way
                  mileage rate applicable to the aircraft being used.

    f.  Shipping Data.

        (1)  All users of the scheduled air freight service must provide
             Ross with a complete description of freight to be shipped.
             hazardous materials must be packaged, marked, and labeled for
             transport in accordance with 49 CFR unless the Director, Safety
             Programs Division, AL, grants an exception to these regulatory
             requirements.  This information must be furnished to Ross for
             preparation of loading data and flight schedules.  The
             Saturday/Monday westbound load data should be completed and
             relayed to Ross on Friday, no later than 1:00 p.m. Mountain
             Time.  The Mondays/Wednesday eastbound load data should be
             submitted simultaneously.  If the planned departure date is
             Wednesday, additional material will be accepted through
             Tuesday, 1:00 p.m. Mountain Time.  A second aircraft may be
             scheduled westbound on Monday and eastbound on Wednesday, if
             requirements exist.

        (2)  All freight shipments shall be listed on the AL-F-1500.1,
             Freight Manifest, for Air freight Service with appropriate
             information; i.e., size, weight, number of containers, hazard
             classification, security classification, etc.  Secret
             Restricted Data (SRD) classified shipments must show the SRD
             accountability number on the AL-72 and on the classified item
             or container.  In addition, the AL-72 must show the total
             number of pieces or containers and total weight.  The quantity
             and weight totals are essential for aircraft weight and balance
             calculations determined at each stop enroute.

    g.  Freight of Opportunity.  This freight will be handled on a
        space-available basis.  Shippers are encouraged to use this service
        for better utilization of the Government aircraft.

    h.  Special Shipment Problems.  Resolution of scheduling, expediting,
        and other air freight shipment problems will be accomplished by the
        appropriate Contractor Traffic Manager and Ross Operations.

    i.  Notices.  Shipper will advise consignees of the number, size,
        weight, and character (hazard, security classification) of material
        being shipped via Ross plus the estimated arrival date and time.

    j.  TSD Shipments.  Please refer to TP Manual 45-51 and AL 56XA for TSD
        shipments via Ross.

                               CHAPTER IV

                           TRAVEL ALLOWANCES

1.  PER DIEM.

    a.  General.  Under authorities provided in Public Law 99-234, the
        Administrator, General Services, has established lodging-plus per
        diem as the predominate reimbursement system for travel within the
        conterminous United States (CONUS).  Reimbursements will be based on
        amounts paid for lodging, plus a fixed allowance for meals and
        incidental expenses (M&IE), the total not to exceed a maximum daily
        rate set by locality (Exhibit 1.).

        (1)  For all locations not specifically listed, a standard maximum
             per diem rate of $66 is prescribed.  This rate includes a fixed
             allowance of $26 for M&IE.

        (2)  The prescribed maximum per diem rates include a maximum amount
             for lodging expenses.  Reimbursements will be based on actual
             lodging expenses incurred up to the applicable maximum lodging
             amounts.  Receipts are required.

        (3)  The prescribed maximum per diem rates include a fixed allowance
             for M&IE.  The M&IE rate is payable without itemization of
             expenses or receipts.  When meals are furnished without charge
             by the Federal Government, the following deductions will be
             made:

                                       M&IE Rates
                                       ----------
                                   $26            $34
                                   ---            ---
               Breakfast             5              7
               Lunch                 5              7
               Dinner               14             18
               Incidentals           2              2

    b.  Computation Rules.

        (1)  Travel Less Than 24 Hours

             (a)  Ten Hours or Less Including Change of Official Station.
                  No per diem allowed.

             (b)  More Than Ten Hours.  The travel period will be divided
                  into six-hour periods starting from the actual time travel
                  begins and ending with the traveler's arrival at home
                  office other authorized point upon completion of the trip.

                  (i)  Lodging Not Required.  The per diem allowable shall
                       be one fourth of the M&IE rate applicable to the
                       location of the temporary duty assignment for each
                       six-hour period, or fraction thereof.  If more than
                       one temporary duty point is involved, the per diem
                       allowance will be calculated using the M&IE rate
                       prescribed for the location where the majority of
                       official business is spent.

                  (ii) Lodging Required.  The per diem allowable shall be
                       actual cost of lodging limited to the applicable
                       maximum lodging allowance plus M&IE applied on a
                       quarter-day method.

        (2)  Travel of 24 Hours or More.

             (a)  Day Travel Begins.

                  (i)  Lodging Not Required.  The per diem allowable shall
                       be the standard CONUS M&IE rate prorated by dividing
                       the day of departure starting from the actual time
                       travel begins through 12:00 midnight.  For each
                       six-hour period, or fraction thereof, one fourth of
                       the applicable M&IE shall be allowed.

                  (ii) Lodging Required.  The per diem allowable shall be
                       the actual cost of lodging incurred by the employee,
                       limited to the applicable maximum lodging allowance
                       plus M&IE applied to a quarter-day method.

             (b)  Full Calendar Days of Travel.

                  (i)  Lodging Not Required.  The per diem allowance shall
                       be the M&IE rate applicable to the preceding day.

                  (ii) Lodging Required.  The per diem allowance shall be
                       the actual cost of lodging Incurred by the traveler
                       plus the applicable M&IE rata limited to the maximum
                       per diem for the location.

             (c)  Day Travel Ends.  The per diem allowance shall be the M&IE
                  rate applicable to the preceding day prorated by dividing
                  the day travel ends into six-hour periods beginning at
                  12:01 a.m. and running until he employee arrives at home,
                  office, or other authorized point at the conclusion of the
                  trip.  For each six-hour period or fraction thereof, one
                  fourth of the applicable M&IE rate shall be allowed.

        (3)  Lodging Location.

             (a)  Lodging at Temporary Duty Location.  Employees are
                  expected to obtain lodging at the temporary duty location.
                  When employees obtain lodging away from or outside the
                  temporary duty location because of personal preference or
                  convenience, the allowable per diem will be limited to the
                  maximum per diem rate prescribed for the temporary duty
                  location.

             (b)  Lodging Not Available at Temporary Duty Location.  Where
                  lodging accommodations are not available at the temporary
                  duty location and the employee must obtain lodging in an
                  adjacent locality where the prescribed maximum per diem
                  rate is higher than the maximum per diem rate for the
                  location of the temporary duty point, the Director, FMD,
                  based on a request through the approving official, may, on
                  a case-by-case basis, authorize the higher maximum per
                  diem rate.

             (c)  Lodging With Friends or Relatives.

                  (i)  When employees obtain lodging from friends or
                       relatives, with or without charge, no part of the per
                       diem allowance will be allowed for lodging unless the
                       host actually incurs additional expenses in
                       accommodating the employee which are supported by
                       signed receipts, and determined to be reasonable by
                       FMD.

                  (ii) Reasonableness depends on the circumstances of each
                       case.  Normally it will be determined that the
                       additional expenses incurred by the host for
                       employees lodging with friends or relatives will be
                       inconsequential unless unusual circumstances prevail.
                       Unusual circumstances would prevail, for example,
                       where an employee occupies separate accommodations at
                       the friend or relative's residence where the
                       additional expenses can be isolated and itemized.

                 (iii) Expenses based on room rates for comparable
                       commercial lodging in the area, expenses based on
                       estimates of average rates per day, and "token"
                       amounts are not acceptable.

                  (iv) Employees claiming expenses for lodging with friends
                       and relatives must submit an itemization of these
                       expenses and a narrative explanation describing the
                       basis for determining the additional expenses for
                       each item for each day.  A signed receipt must also
                       accompany the claim.

        (4)  Telephone Calls.

             (a)  Employees are authorized to make the following long
                  distance calls while traveling on official business:

                  (1)  Calls to notify family, doctor, or others when the
                       employee is Injured on the job.

                  (2)  Calls to notify family of transportation delays or
                       changes in business schedule.

                  (3)  Brief calls to family or residence within the United
                       States when an employee is in a travel status in the
                       United States for more than one night.  Maximum
                       number of calls that may be authorized is an average
                       of one per day, with the maximum amount that may be
                       approved for reimbursement to be $12 per trip, or
                       each consecutive seven-day period of a single trip,
                       not to exceed a cost of $4 per call.

                  (4)  Brief calls to family or residence within the United
                       States when an employee is in travel status for are
                       than one night outside the United States; or outside
                       the United States when an employee whose official
                       duty station is not In the United States, is in the
                       travel status in the United States for more than one
                       night.  The maximum amount that may be approved is
                       $16 per trip or $16 for each consecutive seven-day
                       period of a single trip, not to exceed a cost of $8
                       per call.

             (b)  Claims for long distance calls must be supported by
                  traveler's statements or receipts including costs claimed
                  and points between which the call was made and the date.

             (c)  As a general rule, long distance calls made while on
                  official business travel should be placed through FTS
                  intercity network or other Government-provided long
                  distance telephone services.

    c.  Extended Stays at Temporary Duty Locations.  A fixed per diem
        allowance will be established on a case-by-case basis for extended
        stays at temporary duty locations in excess of 120 days.  For
        temporary duty assignments between 60 and 120 days, a reduced per
        diem rate may be established on a case-by-case basis considering the
        availability of lodging.  To assist in these determinations,
        employees are required secure and submit to FMD at least three
        estimates of lodging expenses which are reasonable and
        representative of single accommodations at the temporary duty
        station location.  Fixed or reduced rates will include a maximum of
        $26 for M&IE.  The reasonableness of lodging will be approved by the
        Director, FMD on a case-by-case basis.  Employees on extended stays
        at temporary duty locations are expected to exercise prudent
        judgment in securing accommodations consistent with the nature and
        length of the assignment within the following guidance.

        (1)  Lodging.  Employees are expected to secure lodgings such as an
             apartment, townhouse, condominium, or other lease arrangement,
             payable on a monthly basis, which will result in a cost
             advantage to the Government.  Single accommodations shall be
             secured to the extent of availability with the added costs over
             a single occupancy rate, which may be required to accommodate
             family members, to be borne by the employee.

        (2)  Furniture Rental, Telephones, Other Utilities, and Cleaning
             Services.  Employees may include under lodging:  rent expenses,
             rental of furniture, stove, refrigerator, television set,
             vacuum cleaner, telephone user charges (but not telephone
             installation charges), and other charges for utilities and maid
             or cleaning services (limited to commercial rates).

        (3)  Receipts.  Once established, receipts and itemization of
             expenses are not required under a fixed per diem allowance.
             Receipts are required under full per diem and shall be
             completed to show the period involved, services rendered, or
             articles purchased and unit prices.  This includes lodging
             expenses (rent, furniture and appliance rentals, telephone user
             charges, utilities, and maid or cleaning services).

        (4)  Transportation.

             (a)  A privately-owned automobile (one), determined
                  advantageous to the Government due to the nature and
                  length of the assignment, will normally be authorized for
                  travel to and from an extended stay temporary duty station
                  and for use at the TDY station for official business.
                  Transportation reimbursement will be based on the most
                  direct route to and from the temporary duty station.
                  Employees may be reimbursed for the cost of trailers or
                  other special conveyances used for travel to temporary
                  duty location when there is an overall savings to the
                  Government as determined by the Director, FMD.

             (b)  Employees are expected to proceed expeditiously to and
                  from the temporary duty station and to exercise the same
                  care in incurring expenses that a prudent person would
                  exercise if traveling on personal business.  Where travel
                  by Privately-Owned Vehicle (POV) is authorized, the rate
                  and Method of reimbursement to and from the official
                  temporary duty station will be the standard per diem rate.

             (c)  Employees on extended temporary duty assignments will be
                  reimbursed only those transportation and parking expenses
                  which are in excess of commuting to or from their official
                  duty station.

        (5)  Special Circumstances.

             (a)  Employees on extended temporary duty at one location who
                  are subsequently directed to perform additional temporary
                  duty at another location and who, because of lease
                  arrangements, incur lodging expenses at both locations may
                  be authorized actual subsistence expenses not to exceed
                  the maximum allowable amount (i.e., lodging expenses at
                  both TDY locations plus M&IE at one location).

             (b)  Employees on extended temporary duty assignments will be
                  reimbursed for lodging expenses at the temporary duty
                  station not to exceed the maximum allowable amount when
                  the employee is directed to return to the permanent duty
                  station for official business.  No reimbursements will be
                  made for lodging, M&IE, or special conveyances, at the
                  permanent duty station.

             (c)  During intermittent periods of annual leave while on
                  extended temporary duty assignments, employees who have
                  secured lodging payable on a monthly basis, will be
                  reimbursed lodging expenses at the temporary duty station.
                  No reimbursements will be made for M&IE while in leave
                  status.

        (6)  Leave.  Reimbursement for M&IE ceases when an employee leaves
             home or enters leave status without regard to the scheduled
             departure of the common carrier and commences again with the
             employee's return at the conclusion of the temporal duty from
             the TDY station or return from annual leave.

        (7)  Authorized Periodic Returns for Nonworkdays.  Employees on
             extended temporary duty may be authorized to return
             periodically to their official duty station during nonworkdays
             when after cost analyses, the authorizing official determines
             that the costs of reimbursing employees for the periodic return
             travel between the temporary duty point and the official
             station for nonworkdays are outweighed by savings in terms of
             employee efficiency, productivity, and reduced costs of
             employment and retention of such employees.  As a general rule,
             periodic returns are not to be authorized more frequently than
             every 30 days unless unusual circumstances prevail and are so
             justified.  In the case of an authorized periodic return, the
             traveler will be reimbursed round-trip transportation,
             allowable per diem en route and other allowable travel
             expenses.

        (8)  Voluntary Return for Nonworkdays.  Travelers Ray return
             voluntarily to their official duty station for nonworkdays.  In
             the case of voluntary return the maximum reimbursement for the
             roundtrip transportation and per diem en route may not exceed
             the per diem and any travel expenses which may have been
             allowable had the traveler remained at the temporary duty
             station.

        (9)  Periodic Nonworkday Voluntary Return Travel Restrictions.
             Travelers may not be reimbursed for periodic nonworkday return
             travel to areas other than their official station or place of
             abode from which he or she commutes daily to the official
             station.

    d.  Indirect Route or Interrupted Travel.  When, for personal reasons,
        an employee uses his POV or there is a deviation by common carrier
        from the normal route, early departure from and/or late return to
        official station, interruption of trip, etc., settlement of the
        claim is made on a constructive cost schedule.  Per diem will be
        determined on a theoretical basis using published air schedules.
        Departure or arrival times will be based on flights regardless of
        availability which would permit arrival at or departure from the
        temporary duty station or permanent duty station at a reasonable
        hour (normally during duty hours).  The determination of
        reasonableness of constructive cost schedules is the responsibility
        of FMD.

2.  ACTUAL SUBSISTENCE.

    a.  General.  The Director, FMD, may authorize or approve reimbursement
        of actual and necessary subsistence expenses for official travel
        when such expenses are unusually high due to special or unusual
        circumstances.

    b.  Maximum Daily Rates and Reimbursement Limitations.  For travel
        within CONUS, the maximum daily rate for subsistence expenses shall
        not exceed 150 percent of the applicable maximum per diem rate
        (rounded to the next highest dollar).  Expenses incurred and claimed
        will be reviewed and allowed only to the extent determined to be
        necessary and reasonable by FMD.  Reimbursement for meals and
        incidental expenses shall not exceed 150 percent of the M&IE rate
        applicable to the temporary duty location.

    c.  Conditions Warranting Approval of Actual Subsistence Expenses.
        Actual subsistence expenses may be authorized or approved for travel
        assignments when the applicable maximum per diem rate is inadequate
        due to special or unusual circumstances.  Where the maximum per diem
        rate, although generally adequate, is insufficient for a particular
        travel assignment because the actual and necessary subsistence
        expenses are unusually high due to special duties or because
        subsistence costs have escalated temporarily during special events.
        Travel on an actual subsistence expenses may be authorized or
        approved for travel when, due to special or unusual circumstances,
        the lodging costs absorb all or nearly all of the applicable maximum
        per diem allowances.

1/  Unless otherwise specified, the per diem locality is defined as "all
    locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of
    the key city, including independent entities located within those
    boundaries."

2/  Per diem localities with county definitions shall include "all locations
    within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city
    as well as the boundaries of the listed counties, including independent
    entities located within the boundaries of the key city and the listed
    counties."

3/  Military installations or Government-related facilities (whether or not
    specifically named) that are located partially within the city or county
    boundary shall include "all locations that are geographically part of
    the military installation or Government-related facility, even though
    part(s) of such activities may be located outside the defined per diem
    locality."

4/  Federal agencies may submit a request to GSA for review of the
    subsistence cost in a particular city or area where the standard CONUS
    rate applies when travel to that location is repetitive or on a
    continuing basis and travelers' experiences indicate that the prescribed
    rates is inadequate.  Other per diem localities listed in this appendix
    will be surveyed on an annual basis by GSA to determine whether rates
    are adequate.  Requests for subsistence rate adjustments shall be
    submitted by the agency headquarters office to the General Services
    Administration, Federal Supply Service, Attn:  Travel and Transportation
    Regulations Staff (FBR), Washington, DC 20406.  Agencies should
    designate an individual responsible for reviewing, coordinating, and
    submitting to GSA the requests from bureaus, subagencies, etc.  Requests
    for rate adjustments shall include a city designation, a description of
    the surrounding location involved (county or other defined area) and a
    recommended rate supported by a statement explaining the circumstances
    that cause the existing rate to be inadequate.  The request also must
    contain an estimate of the annual number of trips to the location, the
    average duration of such trips, and the primary purpose of travel to the
    locations.

                                  CHAPTER V

                         LEAVE WHILE IN TRAVEL STATUS


1.  INDIRECT ROUTE, INTERRUPTED TRAVEL, AND DEVIATIONS.

    a.  When, for personal reasons, a traveler uses a POV or there is a
        deviation by common carrier from the normal route, early departure
        from and/or late return to official station, interruption of the
        trip, etc., settlement of the claim and charging of leave is made on
        a comparative basis.  For this purpose, leave will be determined on
        a theoretical travel basis similar to the determination of per diem
        entitlement using published air schedules without regards to
        availability.

    b.  Travelers are required to report any deviations on their travel
        voucher.  In such cases, it is also necessary to indicate the date,
        time, and place official duty began and ended.

2.  EXCESS TRAVEL TIME.  In accordance with 1.a. above, leave will be
    charged for any work time lost when a traveler introduces personal
    travel into the official itinerary.

3.  DAYS OF DEPARTURE AND ARRIVAL.  Leave shall be charged to a traveler on
    days of departure from or arrival at the official duty, station if there
    is sufficient time for performance of at Least one-hour duty and the
    traveler fails to report for such duty.

4.  IN CONJUNCTION WITH FOREIGN TRAVEL.  Approving officials shall determine
    how much, if any, leave may be taken in conjunction with foreign travel,
    when the travel is at public expense.  Leave should not exceed the total
    number of business days of the trip.


                                 CHAPTER VI

                ESTABLISHMENT AND CHANGE OF OFFICIAL STATION


1.  GENERAL.  Management Support Division publishes a "Permanent Change of
    Station Travel Handbook," which is available as a reference guide for
    employees transferring or new hires.  This handbook is available upon
    request.  Official travel policy and procedures governing reimbursements
    and change of official station are contained in the Federal Travel
    Regulations, DOE Order 1500.2, and AL supplements thereto.

2.  APPROVAL AND AUTHORIZATION.

    a.  Agreement.  Processing of advances or travel vouchers in connection
        with official change of station will not occur until a copy of the
        required agreement with supporting documentation Is received from
        PIRD through MSD.

    b.  Authorization for Change of Station.  Based on the administratively
        approved "Authorization For Change of official Station," Form AL F
        1510.5 (Exhibit 1), which is prepared by PIRD, MSD will prepare DOE
        F 1510.1A, "Travel Authorization" (Exhibit 4 to Chapter II) and
        forward it to the Office Operations Section, Accounting Branch, FMD
        for completion of Item 23, certification of authorization.
        Distribution of copies is then made, by MSD.

    c.  Timing of Travel Authorizations.  Travel authorizations directing
        travel and relocation allowances for change of official station
        shall be issued at least 30 days in advance of the travel unless the
        employee and both losing and gaining offices agree on a lesser
        period; other statutory authority or regulations stipulates a lesser
        period; or emergency circumstances prevail.  The change of station
        order must document the reasons for a reporting date less than 30
        days.

    d.  Documentation.  Requests for issuance of change of station travel
        authorization shall include copies of the required one-year service
        agreement and appropriate personnel documentation for the
        relocation; e.g., personnel shortage determinations for new hires
        and copies of approved requests.  Two copies of the agreement are
        required for new hires and four copies of the agreement for
        transferring employees.  Personnel and Industrial Relations Division
        will retain one copy of the signed agreement and forward the second
        copy with a copy of the approved travel authorization to FMD.  Two
        additional copies of the signed agreements and approved travel
        authorization must be forwarded to the Site Relocation Coordinator
        (SRC) in MSD.

    e.  Advance of Funds.  Requests for advance of funds will be made on
        SF-1038 at least 10 workdays prior to the date the expenses will be
        incurred.  Advances shall not exceed 80 percent of the total
        estimated out-of-pocket expenses in connection with a change of
        station.  Advances for an approved additional period of temporary
        quarters shall be made in no more than 30-day increments and must be
        vouchered within 30 days following the end of the applicable period.

3.  RELOCATION SERVICES.

    a.  General.  Department of Energy has contracted for certain relocation
        services that are available to eligible transferring employees.
        Additional information can be obtained from SRC in MSD.

             The Site Relocation Coordinator will concur in the procurement
             request prior to submission to CPD.  The Site Relocation

             Coordinator.

        (4)  Employees may reject the use of the relocation services in
             writing to SRC at any time.  Once rejected, the employee cannot
             reapply for use of the relocation company under current
             Permanent Change of Station orders.

4.  TRAVEL AND TRANSPORTATION EXPENSES.

    a.  Subsistence While Occupying Temporary Quarters.

        (1)  General.  As a general rule the period for temporary quarters
             will be reduced or avoided if a round trip to seek permanent
             residence has been made, or if, as a result of extended
             temporary duty at the new official station or other
             circumstances, the employee had adequate opportunity to
             complete arrangements for permanent quarters.

        (2)  Allowable Amount.  The period for a house-hunting trip will be
             deducted from the authorized temporary quarters allowance.

        (3)  Itemization and Receipts.  Standard Form 1012 (Exhibit 9 to
             Chapter II) shall be used to itemize temporary quarters
             expenses.  Receipts are required for meals over $25, lodging,
             and laundry and cleaning expenses (except when coin-operated
             facilities are used).

        (4)  Subsistence.  Temporary quarters begins the same day en route
             travel ends.

             (a)  En route travel of more than 24 hours.  The eligibility
                  period starts at the beginning of the calendar-day quarter
                  immediately following the calendar-day quarter in which en
                  route travel per diem ends.

             (b)  En route travel of 24 hours or less.  The eligibility
                  period starts at the beginning of the same calendar-day
                  quarter in which en route travel per diem ends.

             (c)  Maximum Reimbursement.  Unless special or unusual
                  circumstances prevail, the maximum reimbursement for M&IE
                  shall not exceed $26 per day while in temporary quarters.

    b.  Residence Transactions.  Only those specific types of legal services
        charged incident to sale and purchase of property necessitated by
        transfers in the interest of The Government as listed in OMB
        Circular A-56 are reimbursable.  There is no authority for
        reimbursement of fees to attorneys retained to counsel and represent
        employees in connection with real estate transactions.  It is
        therefore necessary, when submitting claims for attorney fees, to
        attach an itemized statement indicating a breakdown of the charges
        involved.

    c.  Transportation of Mobile Homes.  Employees must furnish a copy of a
        written certification that a mobile home is for use as a residence
        for the employee and/or his immediate family at the destination.

5.  MOVING EXPENSE ALLOWANCES INCLUDABLE IN INCOME.

    a.  The following allowances paid employees for reimbursement of
        expenses incurred in an official change of station are subject to
        Federal and State income tax withholding, and will be reported on
        Form W-2, "Wage and Tax Statement," as "Wages Paid Subject to
        Withholding":

        (1)  The excess over $1,500 for a house-hunting trip and temporary
             quarters.

        (2)  The excess over $3,000 for residence sale, purchase, or lease
             provided the aggregate amount is reduced by the total
             reimbursement for the house-hunting trip and temporary
             quarters.

        (3)  Allowance for miscellaneous expenses.

    b.  The amounts paid which are not subject to withholding will be
        reported on Form W-2.

    c.  In lieu of Treasury Department Form 4782, AL employees are furnished
        copies of the paid travel vouchers which show the nature of the
        reimbursed expenses.  Employees are advised to retain these vouchers
        as they contain the necessary information to assist them in the
        computation of the moving expense deduction when filing income tax
        returns.

6.  REIMBURSEMENT.  Exhibits 3 through 7 to this chapter identify the
    minimum information necessary to prepare claims relating to a change of
    official station.  These exhibits shall be submitted to the Office
    Operations Section, Accounting Branch, FMD, along with "Employee
    Application for Reimbursement of Expenses Incurred Upon Sale or Purchase
    (or both) of Residence Upon Change of Official Station" (Exhibit 8) and
    other appropriate documents.

7.  RELOCATION INCOME TAX (RIT) AND WITHHOLDING TAX ALLOWANCE (WTA).

    a.  General.

        (1)  Payment of the RIT allowance is authorized for employees
             transferring on or after November 14, 1983, in the interest of
             the Government, from one official station to another for
             permanent duty.  New appointees, employees assigned under the
             Government Employees Training Act, and employees returning from
             overseas assignments are not entitled to an RIT allowance
             payment.

        (2)  Payment of the RIT allowance is authorized to reimburse
             eligible employees for substantially all of the Federal, State,
             and local income tax consequences of relocation reimbursements.
             WTA, which is an estimated partial payment of the RIT allowance
             covering only the employee's Federal tax withholding liability,
             will also be paid.

    b.  Withholding Tax Allowance (WTA).

        (1)  Reimbursement vouchers for relocation expenses will be prepared
             and processed in the usual manner.  As each relocation voucher
             is processed, FMD will calculate a WTA (Exhibit 9) using
             covered taxable reimbursements (Exhibit 10) and shown on the
             employee's voucher as an estimated allowance paid to cover the
             Federal tax withholding amount and its subsequent tax impact.
             Withholding Tax Allowance will not be calculated for state and
             local withholdings.

        (2)  Financial Management Division will review WTA payments at the
             close of each calendar year and provide a statement of "Moving
             Expenses-Permanent Change of Station" (Exhibit 11) and advise
             the employee to promptly prepare and submit an RIT claim.

        (3)  Withholding Tax Allowance payments made to an employee are
             reported as income and reflected in the employee's W-2 in the
             year in which reimbursement is made.

        (4)  Withholding Tax Allowance payments to employees which exceed
             the RIT allowance claim must be remitted to FMD within 30 days
             following notification of excess WTA payments.

    c.  Relocation Income Tax (RIT).

        (1)  Financial Management Division will notify eligible employees of
             their entitlement to the RIT allowance payment and request that
             the employee submit the "Relocation Income Tax Allowance
             Certification" (Exhibit 12) and documentation with a travel
             voucher.  The travel voucher must contain the following
             statement "to claim Relocation Income Tax Allowance authorized
             by P.L. 98-151, November 14, 1983 and implemented by GSA
             regulations, Supplement 14 to the Federal Travel Regulations,
             FPMR A-40, 101-7.  The claim is for RIT allowance for calendar
             year ____."

        (2)  Financial Management Division will calculate RIT allowance
             (Exhibit 13) and provide a copy to the employee.

    d.  Change of Station-Authorization Estimate.  DOE F 1510.1A will
        include an estimate for the RIT for eligible employees.  For
        estimating purposes, the estimated total taxable reimbursements
        (house-hunting, temporary quarters, temporary storage in excess of
        30 days, miscellaneous expenses and real estate less $3,000) shall
        be multiplied by 35%.
