Does the moral concept of 'supererogatory' have any place in an egoistic ethics?

Recently, I stumbled on the concept of 'supererogatory' moral actions -- i.e. actions that are morally praiseworthy but which, if one did not perform them, one would not be morally blameworthy. Any validity to this concept from the perspective of the Objectivist ethics?
