MATTER OF: Edward B. Connors - Relocation Txpenses of Scarce Category Employee DGEST: Scarce cstegory employee was authorized transpor- tation of his immediate family and housetrailer from Red Bluff, California, to Pocatello, Idaho, incident to appointment effective January 20, 1975. Authorized transportation did not begin for 26 months since em- ployee wanted family to remain in California until AGE discrimination complaint filed by him after unsuccessful application for position in Oregon was settled. Em- ployee may not be reimbursed costs of transportation of immediate family and household goods since 2-year limitation on beginning of transportation prescribed in Federal Travel Regulations (FPMR 101-7) para. 2-16a(2) (May 1973) may not be waived. This action is taken pursuant to a request from Mr. H. Larry Jordan. Head, Certification Section, National Finance Center, U. S. Department of Agriculture, for our decision as to whether he may certify for payment a claim of Mr. Edward B. Connors, an employee of the Department, for transportation of his immediate family and household goods to his official duty station. Mr. Connors, a new scarce category employee of the Forest Service, was authorized transportation of his immediate family and housetrailer from Red Bluff, California, to Pocatello, Idaho, incident to his appointment effective January 20, 1975. Federal Travel Regu- lations (FTR) (FPMR 101-7) para. 2-1. Sa(2) (May 1973) states in pertinent part, The maximum time for beginning allowable travel and transportation shall not exceed 2 years from the effective date of the employee's transfer or appoihtment * * *. Mr. Connors did not transport his famnily and household goods to Pocatello until March 2 and 3, 1977, some 26 months after he had reported for duty. During the 26-month interim period Mr. Connors applied for a job in Medford, Oregon, but was -not hired. He filed an equal employment opportunity (EEO) coniplaint and a grievance against the hiring agency, charging age discrimination and improper selec- tion practices, and decided not to move his family from California until his EEO complaint had been resolved. Because of delays a determination of the validity of his complaint and grievance was not made until after the 2-year period allowed under FTR para.
