C. aOde FILE: DATE: AVG 7 3-177610 MATTER OF: Emloyee Improvements - Forest Service Mobile DIGEST: Since Forest Service Regulation R-8 now requires upgrading the electrical hokcups at mobile home pads to 200 aspers, GAO will not object to agency agreement with three of its nnployees, who moved onto the trails r pads prior to the promulgation of the regulation nd wko Incurred personal expenses In enlarglag the electrical hookups which served their respective mobile homes, for the puz:hase of the imp rwevwamts at a price reflecting their value t- the Governmect, siace it employeea removed their iprovements, whicn they may do in the alter- native, the Forest Service would have to replace them. Mr. George D. Breftmeler. Authorized Certifying Officer, Forest Services United Sates brpartmen of Agriculture, (his reference 6540), asks whether he may certify 'he Tcchers of three Forest Service em- playees who seek reimburseament of personal expenditures for enlarging the electrical hookups which served their respective mobile homes. When the ernplojues elected to move their mobile homes on to trader pads at the Naches Ranger Station, Naches, Washington, there was electrical service but at a much lower amperage than was needed to operate their mobile homes adequately, At the time of their moves, the employees were apparently told that t*'e trailer padu were available but if the electrical service was not adequate, they would have to bear thc expense of installing the additional service themselves. Also, ac- cording to the record, the employeen were apparently advised that the facilities lastalled would be their personal property and would not revert to the Government. The three claimants then upgraded the ser- vice to 200 ampere. at their own erpense. Subsequently, the Pacific Northwest Region of the Forest Service promulgated standards, (R-0 Supplem-mt No. 57 to Forest Service Manual 8445.31-3 (February 6197)(regulation a-B)) which established minimum requirements for traller parking spaces. These included, among other things, 200 ampere electric service to a moter head. djk I. S.
