C. 2054e ENI FILE: B-2021 MATTER OF: DIGEST: .03 1,- DATE: July 16, 1981 James W. Pierce - Temporary Quarters Real Estate Expenses 1. Employee who, incident to transfer, rented house in Juneau, Alaska, which he agreed to buy, is not entitled to temporary quarters subsistence expenses before settle- ment. Even though sellers had not executed earnest money agreement during period covered by claim, the employee's intent at the time he moved into quarters was clearly to make house his permanent resi- dence. 2. Employee who purchased a residence incident to transfer may not be reim- bursed for loan origination fee, tax registration fee, and loan extension fees, since such payments are finance charges under Regulation Z and are not reimbursable under Federal Travel Regulations, para. 2-6.2d (May 1973). Ms. Anita R. Smith, an authorized certifying officer of the Department of Agriculture, requests a decision as to the propriety of certifying for payment the claim of Mr. James W. Pierce for temporary quarters subsistence expenses and certain items and amounts representing real estate expenses in connection with the purchase of a residence in September 1980, in Juneau, Alaska, upon transfer of station. The amounts questioned are temporary quarters subsis- tence expenses of $2,352 and additional real estate expenses, consisting of an $825 loan origination fee, a $30 tax regis- tration fee, and $309.36 in loan extension fees. The certi- fying officer believes that Mr. Pierce is not entitled to temporary quarters subsistence expenses in connection with his rental occupancy of the house he subsequently purchased as his permanent residence and that the real estate expenses are nonreimbursable finance charges. We agree with that determination. i s-m > and
