MATTER


DIGEST:


OF:  Robert C. Denz - Relocation Expenses -
     Settlement Date Limitation

 Fact that employee was transferred three
 times within 21 months provides no basis
 for extending settlement date limitation
 beyond 2-year maximum established by
 Federal Travel Regulations. Employee may
 not be reimbursed for sale of home at first
 duty station under travel order for third
 transfer because it was not residence from
 which he commuted to work at time of third
 transfer.

December 24, 1975, of C. D. Neudorfer, an authorized certifying
officer of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Department
of Justice, as to the propriety of certifying for payment the
voucher in favor of Mr. Robert C. Dena for transfer-related real
estate expenses.

City, New York, effective April 2, 1973. Mr. Denz states that he
was orally advised that he would probably be stationed in New York
for only 1 year.  Therefore he retained his residence in Beltaville,
Maryland, where his family remained. He requested and was granted
a 1-year extension for completion of real estate transactions
associated with this transfer.

     Effective May 13, 1974, Mr. Denz was transferred from
New York to Portland, Oregon. In August 1974  Mr. Dena moved
his family to Portland, and occupied a residence on a month-to-
month rental basis, because the length of his tour of duty in
Portland was unknown. At that time he leased his former residence
in Beltsville for a period of 1 year. He contends that his tenant
would not agree to.a shorter period.

City.  He states that it was requested that he establish his
residence in the New York area,; and not continue to use his
Beltsville home.  Because of the year lease Mr. Dens was unable
to complete the sale of his Beltsville residence 'Until September 2,
