Hanson, Jr. DIGEST: Employee of National Weather Service stationed in Valdez, Alaska, applied for and was relected for merit promotion to San Antonio, Texas. Employee reclaims cost or tour renewal travel which was deducted from his relocation expenses for failure to fulfill renewal agreement. Em- ployee may be reimbursed cost of tour renewal travel as a transfer incident to a merit pro- motion is not a violation of an overseas tour ?newal agreement. By letter dated October 29, 1980, Mr. C. J. Terry, an authorized certii.ng officer with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Com- merce, requested an advance decision regarding the reclaim voucher of Mr. Frank E. Hanson, Jr. Mr. Hanson requests reimbursement of overseas tour renewal agreement travel costs in the amount of $2,065.48 which were deducted from his relocation expenses when he received a merit promotion and a transfer from Valdez, Alaska, to San Antonio, Texas. We hold that Mr. Hanson may be reimbursed the tour renewal agreement costs claimed since his merit promotion transfer was in the interest of the Government and not in violation of his overseas tour renewal ogreement. Mr. flanson, an employee of the National Weather Ser- vice, was transferred from Duarte, California, to Valdez, Alaska, in January 1977. At the end of 2 years he returned to the continental United States for home leave having signed an overseas tour renewal agreement on March 13, 1979. Upon his return to Alaska he applied for a position with the National Weather Service in San Antonio, Texas, advertised under NOAA's Merit Promotion Program, and was selected for that position. On November 28, 1979, the Alaska Region of the National Weather Service informed Mr. Hanson that he must repay the cost of his tour renewal travel in the amount of $2,065.48, since he would not fulfill his overseas contract. This amount was subsequently deducted from the amount authorized for his relocation expenses to San Antonio. 7 T 71C.7-- 7
