     Douglas C. Staab - Temporary Quarters
     Subsistence Expenses and Transportation of
     Household Goods
1. Transferred civilian employee of Corps of
   Engineers claimed temporary quarters subsis-
   tence expenses for wife and four dependents at
   location other than old or new duty station.
   Requirement of Joint Travel Regulations that
   occupancy of such quarters be directly related
   to employee's transfer is met when dependents
   vacate old residence and occupy temporary
   quarters until new residence is available.
   Administrative determination as to whether oc-
   cupation of temporary quarters is necessary
   should be made on individual case basis in light
   of surrounding circumstances.

2.  Employee transferred from Cincinnati, Ohio, to
   Anchorage, Alaska, may be reimbursed cost of
   moving household goods to dependents' temporary
   quarters at Kennewick, Washington. Reimburse-
   ment  should not exceed cost of moving household
   goods from old to new duty station in one lot by
   Government  Bill of Lading (GEL). PWhen ern-
   ployce is transferred outside continental United
   States, household goods should be shipped by
   GBL  although part of shipment is between points
   in continental United States.

3. Although Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) do
   not provide that lodging receipts in support of
   temporary  quarters subsistence expenses must
   show location of temporary quarters and names
   of occupants, Joint Travel Regulations (JTR),
   Volume  2, may do so. FTR  sets forth only
   minimum   requirements and JTR may require
   information so that adequate review of amount
   claimed may  be made.


.  This matter. involves a request for an advance decision dated
November  5, 1975, by M. E. Shields, an authorized disbursing
officer, concerning the payment of relocation expenses claimed
