Donald E. Rogalla - Transportation of mobile
home

Pursuant to Federal Travel Regulations para.
2-7.4, agency computed limitation on employee's
allowance for transportation of mobile home on
basis of distance shown in standard highway
mileage guide.  Eqpployee claims that above
limitation on reimbursement should be computed
on actual mileage traveled pursuant to FTR
para. 2-7.3.  While employees may explain
substantial deviations in distance for
purpose of FTR para. 2-7.3, in computing maxi-
mum limitation under FTR para. 2-7.4, employees
are bound by rules certainig  to movement of
household goods cn a commuted rate contained in
FTR chaoter 2, Part 8.


     This action is in response to the request for an advance decision
by Ronald L. Carter, an authorized certifying officer of the Bureau
of Reclamation concerning the computation of the allowance for the
transportation of a mobile hom under the following circumstances.

     Incident to a transfer from Victoria, Texas, to Pierre, South
Dakota, Mr. Donald E. Rogalla, an employee of the Bureaua of Re-
clamation, was authorized and moved his mobile home fran his former
duty station to his new duty station. Because of the size of his
mobile home the agency reports that the mover was required to travel
a route designated by the various states that it was required to
travel through.  This necessitated that the mover traveled a distance
which exceeded that listed in the Household Coods Carrier's Bureau
Mileage Guide by 188 miles.  Pursuant to Federal Travel Regulations
(FPMR 101-7) para. 2-7.3 (May 1973), the Bureau of Reclamation
originally computed Mr. Rogalla's allowance for the movement of
his mobile home for which he was paid as follows:
