Lane--Transportation of Household Goods and Subsistence While Occupying Temporary Quarters 1. Employee occupied furnished apartment at new duty station incident to transfer. Claim for temporary quarters subsistence expense was denied since he continued to reside in apartment for nearly 1 year. Claim may be allowed since employee manifested intent not to permanently occupy apartment by seeking financing on residence soon after arrival at new duty station. After that effort was unsuccessful, employee purchased land and began negotiations for mobile home that be intended to purchase with proceeds from sale of former residence, which was not sold until nearly 1 year after transfer. 2. Certifying officer reauests decision on proper wei!ht to base comoutation of emolovee's entitle- ment to commuted rate for transportation of his household goods. Doubt arises because only one of four weight slis provided by eriployee was certified by weight-master as household goods. Federal Travel fRegulations do not contain require- ment for such certification. Furthermore, since meaning of term houzehold goods' is limited by FTR para. 2-1.4h (L ey 1973), certificaticns by personnel of weighing stations, who are unlikely to be familiar with such definition, would appear to be of little value. Therefore, certification is not required in this case. This action is in response to the undated letter of Herman C. Heiser, Chief, Office of Systems and Financial Management, Defense Supply Agency (DSA). Ivr. Heiser's letter, which was forwarded via the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee and assigned PDTATAC Control No. 75-13, submits the voucher of Harrison J. Lane, an employee of DSA, as containing items for which entitlement appears to be doubtful. The items which DSA believes are doubtful and the reasons therefor are: DIGEST: DECISION
