handle is hein.gao/gaobadjnp0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISION OF THE UNITED STATES f WASHINGTON, 0..C. 20548 LINIT.P FILE: B-203104 DATE: July :, 1981 MATTER OF: Travel and Relocation Expenses for New Appointees to the Federal Bureau of Investigation DIGEST: 1. Director of FBI requests reconsideration of ruling in Cecil M. Halcomb, 58 Comp. Gen. 744 (1979), that new appointees assigned to training in Washington, D.C., may not have Washington designated as first permanent duty station so as to entitle them to travel and relocation expenses from Washington, D.C., when assigned to permanent duty station after training. No basis exists to alter this ruling since assignment for training is not a permanent assignment, and employee must bear expense of reporting to his first permanent duty station. 2. New appointees initially assigned to training in Washington, 6.C., are responsible for bearing expense of reporting to their first permanent duty assignments following training. FBI may not lessen that responsibility by assigning them to 1 month of so called permanent duty at convenient location following completion of train- ing and prior to intended permanent duty assignment. One month assignment following training should be treated as temporary duty en route to first duty station. The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has asked us to reconsider the ruling in Cecil M. Halcomb, 58 Comp. Gen. 744 (1979). Specifically, he asks whether the Halcomb ruling, that a new appointee assigned to training in Washington, D.C., may not have Washington desig- nated as his first permanent duty station, must be applied to FBI appointees. If this ruling necessarily applies, he asks whether new FBI appointees may be assigned to permanent duty at their place of appointment for as little as 1 month following initial training and, upon transfer to a new permanent duty station, be granted relocation expenses payable to an individual transferred for the benefit of the Government. We find no basis to alter the Halcomb
