 MATTER  OF:  Travis D. Skinner - Relocation Expense


 DIGEST:  On the basis of the present record, it
          appears that the employee was not advised
          not to incur any expenses until confir-
          mation of his transfer. Accordingly, the
          notice of tentative transfer pending
          completion of employment agreement and
          -medical and security clearances estab-
          lishes the requisite administrative
          intent to transfer and his claim for
          .residence transaction expenses may be
          allowed if otherwise proper. See Comp.
          Gen. cites.


     Mr. Skinner seeks reimbursement of real estate
transaction expenses incurred prior to the date his
formal travel orders were issued but after notice of
his tentative transfer to another location.7 His claim
is allowed if otherwise proper.


     This action is in response to a request for a
decision filed by Patrick M. Sedlacek, President of
Local 715, Professional Air Traffic Controllers
Organization (PATCO) on behalf of Travis D. Skinner,
an air traffic controller employed by the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA). Pursuant to 4 C.F.R.
§ 21.5 (1979) the FAA was served with a copy of
PATCO's submission and has acknowledged service.
However, the agency has not otherwise responded to
PATCO's submission.

     According to PATCO's submission, Mr. Skinner was
transferred from Houston, Texas to Guam but the FAA-
has refused to reimburse him for realty transaction
expenses because the sale of his residence in Texas
was completed prior to confirmation of his transfer.
All other relocation expenses claimed have been paid.
