DECISION





FILE:  B-196054


p  THE  COMPTROLLER GENERAL
.  OF   THE UNITEO STATES
   WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548




         DATE:   June 27, 1980


MATTER OF: Robert D. Schmidt


Employee reimbursed under the provisions of
paragraph 2-8.2d, FTR, for expenses of ship-
ment of his household goods upon transfer
to a new official station where he lived in
temporary quarters for nearly 2 years after
betng advised he would subsequently be relo-
cated, may not be reimbursed expenses incurred
in shipping these household goods to permanent
quarters within the area after the relocation
was cancelled.


     Mr. Robert D. Schmidt equestscreconsideration of our Claims
Division's August 10, 197enial   of htsxclaimfor reiembursement of
household goods shipping expenses. Since the xpenses claimed were
incurred after he was reimbursed for expenses of shipment of his
household goods from a place of residence at the last official
station to a place of residence at the new official station and a
second move is not authorized, we affirm the denial of his claim.

     Mr. Schmidt was promoted to a position with the United States
Marshals Service with initial location in Washington, D.C., and a
planned relocation to Dallas, Texas, in approximately 1 year. He
sold his residence in San Diego, California, and after reporting
for duty in Washington, on September 8, 1975, he leased a home
in Springfield, Vriginia, rather than purchasing a home since he
anticipated the move to Dallas. On May 16, 1977, the planned
transfer to Dallas was cancelled and Mr. Schmidt's Washington
assignment was made permanent. He then purchased a residence
in Haymarket, Virginia, 30 miles from the leased residence in
Springfield and movedhis household goods on June 25, 1977.

     Payment for cost of the second move of the household goods
is sought on the basis that Mr. Schmidt leased his residence
rather than purchasing upon his arrival in the Washington area
in an attempt to create a savings for the Government.


     While Mr. Schmidt's assignment
it was decided that he would not be
official station remained the same.


was changed in June 1977 when
transferred to Dallas, his
Mr.  Schmidt has been reimbursed
