Harris--relocation benefits--Federal employee assigned under Intergovernmental Personnel Act Employee stationed at Kansas City, Missouri, was given Intergovermnental Personnel Act (IPA) assign- ment to Jefferson City, Missouri, and at termina- tion of such assignment was transferred to Dallas, Texas. Employes may not be reimbursed for expenses of sale of residence or allowed a miscellaneous expenses allowance under IPA provisions in 5 U.S.C. 3375 since they do not provide for such allowances. However, such expenses could be allowed incident to a transfer from Kansas City to Dallas since Jefferson City was a temporary duty station. Real estate expenses may not be reimbursed since resi- dence was not located at old station. Miscella- neous expenses allowance may be allowed since employee relocated his residence. The Department of Labor requests a decision as to whether William S. Harris, an employee of the Department, may be reimbursed real estate expenses and be granted a miscellaneous expense allowance in connection with the terminatiou of an Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) assign- ment and a permanent change of station move. The Department submitted a copy of a travel voucher in the amount of $3,225 wherein Mr. Harris claims reimbursement of $3,025 real estate expenses for the sale of his residence at Jefferson City, Missouri, and a $200 miscellaneous expense allowance. The record shows that Mr. Harris, who aas employed at Kansas City, Missouri, was sent to Jeffersn City on an IPA assignment to be the Director of the Division of Employment Security for the State of Missouri. The assignment began April 30, 1973, and was scheduled to terminate April 29, 1975. However, after 13 months, the Department of Labor gave Mr. Harris another appointment in the Depart- ment at Dallas, Texas, effective May 22, 1974, and terminated the IPA assignment. In its letter of February 20, 1975, the Departient's representative states that it has determined that none of these expenses are reimburs- able inasmuch as Mr. Harris has terminated an IPA assignnt and, there- fore, is not entitled to the allowances under the circumstances. &LiCISION
