D.C. 20548 FILE: B-219854 DATE: March 12, 1986 MATTER OF: John Debo DIGEST: Employee of the National Park Service in Lowell, Massachusetts, sold his resi- dence after being selected to partici- pate in a developmental management training program in Washington, D.C. At the completion of the program he had not been reassigned and his temporary duty in Washington was extended. Several months later he was reassigned to Boston, Massachusetts. Employee may not be reimbursed for real estate sale expenses since there was not a clear administrative intent, but rather a possibility that he might be transferred at the time he sold his residence. This action is in response to a request from the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, for an advance decision regarding Mr. John Debo's claim for residence sale expenses.1/ The question presented is whether Mr. Debo may be reimbursed in view of the fact that he incurred the residence sale expenses at the time he was selected to participate in the agency's training program rather than at the time he was subsequently transferred to his new duty station. Because the record before us does not establish the existence of a clear and definite administra- tive intent to transfer Mr. Debo at the time he was selected for training, we hold that his claim for residence sale expenses may not be paid. BACKGROUND Mr. Debo, an employee of the National Park Service, was stationed in Lowell, Massachusetts, at the Lowell National I/ The request was submitted by Barry Tremblay, Finance Officer, National Park Service, North Atlantic Region, Boston, Massachusetts. 0348kV_:
