Barbaree - Temporary quarters allowance Although an employee certified his trailer would be used as a residence in order to be entitled under Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) 2-7. 1, et seq., to reimbursement for transporting his EaTer to his new permanent duty station, he may under FTR 2-5. 1, et seq., be reimbursed subsistence expenses whT1.eoccupying temporary quarters. The trailer was intended to be a temporary residence at the new duty station until a permanent home could be located. A deduction should be made of the amount im- properly paid under FTR 2-7. 1, et seq., since payment for this purpose was unauthorized.' This action responds to a request for an advance decision from Mr. H. Larry Jordan, Authorized Certifying Officer, United States Department of Agriculture, concerning the claim of Alan H. Barbaree forfeimbursement of subsistence expenses in.the_amount ef-$-*S'incurred while occupying temporary quarters incident to relocation of permanent duty station The principal issue is whether the claimant's trailer was intended for, and could be used as, a permanent residence rather than being limited to a temporary residence preparatory to estab- lishing a regular permanent home at the new duty station. On July 12, 1977, Mr. Barbaree, incident to his transfer from the National Park Service in Denver, Colorado, to the Forest Service, in Salt Lake City, Utah, was authorized the transportation of his trailer in lieu of transportation and temporary storage of household goods. As required in para. 2-7. la of the Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) (FPMR 101-7, May 1973), Mr. Barbaree certified that his trailer would be used by him and his immediate family as a residence at his destination and new duty station at Salt Lake City. By so certifying the Forest Service evidently believed that Mr. Barbaree intended to use the trailer as a per- manent residence, and he was paid $55. 44 for transporting his trailer by privately owned vehicle under FTR paras. 2-7. 1, et seq.
