DIGEST:


Employee moved hou'sehold goods while on
detail to new duty station to which he
was ultimately transferred 2 months after
he returned to old duty station upon
completion of detail. Since there was an
administrative intent to transfer employee
at time employee incurred expenses, reim-
bursement may be authorized.


     This action is in response to an undated submission received
by this Office on June 21, 1976, from Mr. lobert Caswell-, an
authorized certifying officer of the Bureau of Indian Affairs -
(BIA), Department of the Interior, requesting a decision on a
voucher presented by Mr. Richard E. Fitzgerald for reimbursement
of the expenses of transporting his household goods from Wyandotte,
Oklahoma, to Muskogee, Oklahoma.

    .The record indicates that on November 28, 1974, Mr. Fitzgr:,ald,
a BIA employee, was detailed from his permanent duty station,the
Seneca Indian School, Wyandotte, Oklahoma, to the BIA Muskogee
Area Office, Muskogee, Oklahoma. This detail ended on December 20,
1974.  On February 14, 1975, Ir. Fitzgerald received official
notice that his permanent duty station would be transferred from
Wyandotte to Muakogee, effective MWrch 2, 1975. Mr. Fitzgerald
served a second detail beginning February 19, 1975, and ending
on the effective date of the transfer.

     During his first detail, the .clainant moved his household
goods from Wyandotte to Muakogee by U-Haul truck in shipments
made on November 26, 197d,, and on December 7, 1974. Although
Mr . Fitzgerald did not obtain a weight certificate, he is claim-
ing $856.02 for these apipnents under the commuted rate system
by estimating a constructive weight of 9,828 pounds tased on the
space capacity of the rented vehicles. Mr. Fitzgerald's claim
for the expenses incurrtd in moving .is household eifects was
administratively denied on the grounds that no change of station
had been authorized prior to their movement, and that reimburce-
ment could not be predicated on an anticipated change of station.
