    MATTER OF:
                    William H. Maine  fReimbursement for Temporary
        DIGEST:Quarters Expenses for Immediate Family
    DIGEST:
                    Employee reported to new official duty
                    station in September 1974 and rented
                    apartment for his own use. His im-
                    mediate family vacated residence at
                    old official station on February 24,
                    1975, and joined employee for a few
                    days. During month of March 1975
                    employee's family occupied temporary
                    quarters over 200 miles from his
                    official duty station where employee
                  made  settlement on new home on
                  March 31, 1975.  Employee is not
                  entitled to temporary quarters expenses
                  allowance for h~.s famly SLi~ef    l
                        did Y sliuce family
                  did not occupy temporary quarters in
                  connection with intended move to his
                  new station.

       This matter is before us on a request for an advance decision,
  reference: A:F:A:14A.1, from Marie A. Watkins, an authorized certifying
  officer of the Department of the Treasury, Bureau of Acohol,
  Tobacco and Firearms, and concerns the propriety of certifying
  for payment the reclaim voucher of Mr. William H. Maine for tem-
  porary quarters expenses for his family following his transfer
  and permanent change of official duty station from Raleigh, North
  Carolina, to Salisbury, North Carolinya, in September 1974.

      The record shows that Mr. Maine reported for duty at his new
 official duty station on September 15, 1974, and that he rented
 an apartment from September 1974 to June 1975 at which time he
 went on sick leave and submitted his retirement application.

      The record further shows that Mr. Maine's wife and two
 children remained at the old duty station until February 24, 1975,
 when they vacated their residence and joined Mr Maine.  Thereafter,
 the family moved to Gainesville, Georgia, where Mr. Maine eventually
 purchased a new residence, and occupied temporary quarters from
 March 1 to March 30, 1975. The distance between Gainesville,
 Georgia, and Salisbury North Carolina, is over 200 miles and the
 employee had not commuted on a daily basis to his post of du ty
station.
