Lincoln - Pro rata reimbursement of residence transaction expenses DIGEST: 1. Transferred civilian employee sold property at old duty station in 2 parcels. Although reimbursement of expenses for 3 1/2 acre parcel con- taining house, barn, and garage is proper, reimbursement of expenses for . sale of additional 20 acres may not be made since Federal Travel Regula- tion (FP, l0i-7).¶. 2-6.1f ( 1y 1973) states that pro rata reimbursemYent will be m-de when land is in excess of that reasonably related to residence site and the 20 acres is excess land. 2. Transferred employee who owned residence on 23 1/2 acre site was informed by agency official that he could divide prop- erty into 2 parcels to facilitate sale and be reimbursed for experLses of selling both parcels although Federal Tra-rel Regulations permit only pro rata reimbursement when land is in excess of that reasonably related to residence site. Employee may not be reimbursed for sale of excess 20 acres of land since Govern- ment is not liable for negligent acts of - its agents. This decision is in response to a request for a decision dated July 7, 1976, from Ms. Orris C. Huet, an authorized cer- tifying officer of the Department of Agriculture, as to whether she could certify for payment a voucher subm-itted by 1,r. Richard E. Lincoln, an employee of the Aniral and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Department of Agriculture. The voucher is for reimbursement of expenses incurred in the sale of 20 acres of land in connection with the change of Mr. Lincoln's permanent duty station.
