MATTER


DIGEST:


OF:   William S. Ifarris--relocntion benefits--Federal
      emplojee assigned under Intergoverrzental
      Personnel Act--request for reconsideration
 Employee who was stationed at Kansas City,
 Missouri, was given Intcrgovernmental
 Personnel Act (IPA) assignmnent to
 Jefferson City, Missouri, and at termina-
 tion of such assignment was transferred
 to Dallas, Texas, requests reconsidera-
 tion of decision denying his claim for
 relocation expenses incurred upon sale of
 home in Jefferson City,  Since no such
 reimbursement is provided under IPA and
 IVA station at Jefferson City n'over met
 official station requirment  pf Federal
 Travel Regulations and 5 U.S.C. § 5724a
 (1970), no aitho'ity exists for allowing
 such reiocation expenses.


     This action is in response to a letter dated September 18,
1975, fhom If. B. Patrick, Director, Office of Accounting of the
Department of Labor, requesting reconsideration of our decision
B-183283 dated August 5, 1975, in which we disallowed a portion
of the claim of William S. Harris, an employee of the Department's
Manpower Administration, for relocation expenses incurred in con-
nection with the termination of an assignment under the Inter-
governmental Personnel Act of 1970 (IPA), Pub. L. 91-648, approved
January 5, 1971, 5 U.S.C. O0 3371-76, and the permanent change of
his official station from Kansas City, Missouri, to Dallas, Texas.

     Although Mr. Harris' claim for miscellaneous expenses of S200
incurred in connection with his transfer was allowed, his claim
for $3,225 representing the expenses for the sale of his residenca
at his IPA station in Jefferson City, Missouri, was disallowed.
The record indicates that Mr. Harris, whose permaVent duty station
was in Kansas City, Missouri, was sent to Jefferson City on an IPA
assignment as the Director of the Division of Employment Security
for the State of Missouri, where he reported for duty on April 30,
1973.  The assignment was scheduled to terminate on April 29,
1975, but the Department of Labor terminated it afte-.: 13 months,
appointing Mr. Harris to a new permanent duty statirin at Dallas,
Texas, effective May 22, 1974.
