   MATTER OF:
                   Glen L. Taylor - Reimbursement for expenses In
                   connection with real estate purchase
   DIGEST:
               .  Buried wire charge by telephone company in
                  neighborhood containing underground utilities
                  is a properly reimbursable real estate
                  expense under FPMR 101-7, par.2-31b(4)..

               2. Claim by employee for reimbursement for
                  legal fee incident to the purchase of a
                  residence covering both allowable items
                  and services of an advisory nature may
                  not be allowed because summarization of
                  services performed does not give cost of
                  each service.  It is necessary to state
                  the costs of the allowable items enu-
                  merated in para, 2-6.2cof FPMR 101-7 in
                  order for reabursement to be allowed.

               3. Attorney's travel fee for handling real
                  estate transaction outside county in which
                  he maintains his office is not properly
                  reimbursable item under Federal Travel
                  Regulations.

     This action is on a request by the Office of the Controller, Energy
Research and Development Administration, for a decision on the propriety
of paying certain reclaim vouchers of Glen L. Taylor representing
expenses incurred in connection with the purchase of a new house upon a
permanent change of duty station.

     The record shows that Mr. Taylor was transferred from Miamiaburg,
Ohio, to Germantown, Maryland, on November 12, 1973, by the Atomic
Energy Commission, the predecessor to the Energy Research and Develop-
emt  Administration. Mr. Taylor has been reimbursed for the majority
of his real estate expenses in accordance with the Federal Travel
Regulations (FnR 101-7).  However, certain expenses which were dis-
allowed have now been reclaimed, The expenses now in question are
(1) $8 for a telephone company buried wire fee; (2) $300 for attorney's
fees; and (3) $25 for attorney's travel costs*
