  Dear Ms. DiGange:

  This is in response to your letter to our Office, dated December 7, 1994, concerning
  the claim of Mr. Curtis V. Chisley for various relocation expenses of his children.'
  For the following reasons, we concur with your determination that he was not
  entitled to them, and we remand his request for waiver.

The facts in this matter are not in dispute. The record shows that on May 31, 1991,
the Department of Agriculture authorized a transfer for Mr. Chisley from Tyler,
Texas, to Chicago, Illinois. Mr. Chisley is a divorced parent who shares Joint
Managing Conservatorship over the children with his ex-wife. According to the
divorce decree, the children are allowed to visit Mr. Chisley for 60 days during the
summer and at other specified times throughout the year. Mr. Chisley listed his
three children as members of his immediate family since they would be on their
60-day summer visitation when his actual move would occur. It is undisputed,
however, that his children did not reside with Mr. Chisley permanently for more
than 50 percent of the time.

The Department of Agriculture seeks to recoup a total of $3,252.95 from Mr. Chisley
for the various relocation expenses which it paid him on behalf of his children since
