MATTER   OF:   Scott E. MacPherson - Temporary Duty
               Subsistence Expenses - Relocation and
               Temporary Quarters Subsistence Expenses
DIGEST:   Employee hired to position in Salt Lake
          City, Utah, who performed most of his
          duties in Denver, Colorado, on temporary
          duty, is entitled to per diem and actual
          subsistence expenses to date of permanent
          change of duty station to Denver since
          evidence indicates Salt Lake City was his
          permanent duty station. Relocation
          expenses incurred prior to date of trans-
          fer may not be reimbursed since there
          was no administrative intention to trans-
          fer employee before that date. Also,
          employee is not entitled to temporary
          quarters subsistence expenses for apart-
          ment occupied as permanent residence.


     Mary M. Rydquist, an authorized certifying officer
of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), United States
Department of the Interior, requests our decision on the
entitlement of Mr. Scott E. MacPherson to per diem, actual
subsistence, relocation expenses, and temporary quarters
-bsistence  expenses.  Since the entitlement to these
items depends on the effective date of Mr. MacPherson' s
permanent duty assignment to Lakewood, Jefferson,
Colorado, we are requested to determine that date.

     Mr. MacPherson was hired by the BLM on September 21,
1978, as a Range Conservationist, GS-9, with a duty sta-
tion at Salt Lake City, Utah. He was initially given a
6-month temporary appointment. On March 22, 1979, he
was given a 1-month temporary appointment as an Opera-
tions Research Analyst, GS-9. He served in that posi-
tion under that appointment and extensions thereof until
September 23, 1979, when he was promoted to the position
of GS-ll, Operations Research Analyst, by a career-
conditional appointment with a permanent duty assignment
at Lakewood, Jefferson, Colorado.
