THECZNROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 DATE: October 9, 1981 Richard A. Falanga - Nontemporary storage fees An employee of the Drug Enforcement Administration was transferred over- seas for the period of August 1971 to November 1975. The Government paid for the nontemporary storage of his household goods from August 1971 to July 1979, three and a half years more than authorized under Federal Travel Regulations. Regardless of an alleged request by the employee in December 1973 to the storage company to dispose of his goods, he is liable for the overpayments. The employee failed to notify the Govern- ment of his request and to confirm his request with the storage company. 2. Upon a determination of indebtedness under 5 U.S.C. § 5514, a Federal employee's debt arising from an erro- neous payment made by his agency on his behalf for storage of his house- hold goods may be collected from his pay. This procedure is not ,ubject to the 6-year statute of limitations in 28 U.S.C. § 2415(d). This decision is in response to a request by the Acting Assistant Attorney General for Administration, Department of Justice, for a determination as to whether an employee is liable for overpayments the Department made for storage of his household goods. We find that he is liable for the over- payments and they should be collected from him. The employee in question, Mr. Richard A. Falanga of the Drug Enforcement Administration, was transferred from New York to Paris, France, in August 1971, and from Paris to Rome, Italy, in January 1974. He was returned to duty in New York in November 1975. In connection with his transfer to Paris in 1971, some of Mr. Falanga's household goods were placed in nontemporary storage at Government expense with Neptune World Wide Moving, New Rochelle, New York.
