D.C..0 FILE: B-190554 DATE: f.ucvt 1h, 157P MATTER OF: Roy C. Hitchcock -- Claim for Temporary Quarters and Real Estate Expenses DIGEET: 1. Employee, who transferred to new duty station, returned to family residence at old duty station on weekends. Where the return trips were not attributabJe to official necessity under the Federal Travel Regulations (FPMR 101-7) (May 1973), para. 2-5.2a, the period for claiming temporary quarters continues to run 30 consecutive days without interruption. 2. Employee, who transferred to new duty station, performed temporary duty at old duty station. Period for claiming temporary quarters may be interrupted for periods of temporary duty, but, since temporar: quarters may be reim- bursed oniy in increments of calendar days, occupany of tenporary quarters for even less than a full day constitutes one of the .39 calen6ar days. 56 Comp. Gen. 15 (1976). Computation of 30-uay period would depecd upon when employee departed on temporary duty, when he returned, and which days he has claimed temporary quarters. 47 Comp. Gen. 322 (1967) modified. 3. Employee, who transferred to new duty station, claims reimbursement for payment of seller's mortgage interest duo to delay in settlement on residence at new duty station. Despite employee's contention that delay was due, in part, to his performing ,temporary duty away from the new duty station, claim is not allowable as miscellaneous expense or incidental charge customarily paid in the area under Federal Travel Requlations (EPMR 101-7) (May 1973), paras. 2-5.2d and 2-5.2f. This action is in response to a request for an advance decision from Mr. H.

Hitchcock, an Agriculture employee, for reimbursement for tempornry quarters subsistence expenses and certain real ustate expenses.
