Sherfoy - Travel and Transportation Expenses DIGEST: Emp loyee appealn disallowance by our Claims Division of travel and transportation expenses incurred incident to a transfer requested by him. He is not entitled to reimbursement. Agency, acting with'n its authority, determined that transfer was for convenience and benefit of employee and our Office is bound by such deter- mination in absence of a showing that it was arbitrary or capricious. This action is in response to a request for reconsideration of Settlement Certificate No. Z-2621781, November 11, 1977, by which our Claims Division disdllowed Mr. Dale W. Sherfey's claim for travel and' transportation expenses he incurred incident to his transfer from the Naval Atr Station, San Diego, California, to the Department of the Army, Fort Carson, Colorado, in August of 1975. The record shows that Mr. Sherfey, an Aircraft Engine Mechanic at the Naval Air Station, was seeking employment in the Colorado area. He was offered a similar position at the same grade at Fort Carson in response to inquiries he made there. The Civilian Personnel Officer at Fort Cart/on states that it had been determined before Mr. Sherfey's trns- for that he would not b reimbursed for thi expenses of the move. As a result of this determination, travel orders were not issued. Both the Civilian Personnel Officer and Mr. Sherfey state that he was informed on at least three occasions that his transfer was not authorized at Government expense. Section 5724(a) of title 5, United States Code, provides for payment of travel and ttansportation expenses when the employee's transfer is in the interest of the Government. Paragraph C4100-7 of the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR), implementing that statute, provides in pertinent part as follows: . * * * A permanent change-of-station movement will not be authorized at 4.
