      MATTER OF:    Zera B, Taylor- Relocation- Tuition
                    Forfeiture - Cooperative Apartment Carrying
                    Charges
      DIGEBT;
                1.   Employee of Department of Housing and
                     Urban Development Who transferred from
                     New York to Washington, D.C,, in July
                     1978, is not entitled to reimburbement
                     of school tuition deposit for his child's
                     education which he forfeited when the
                     child withdrew from school because of
                     employee's change of permanent sat.un.
                     Tuition forfeiture is not within mis-
                     cellaneous expenses reimbursable under
                     the Federal Travel Regulations (FTR).

                 2. Employee transferred from New York to
                     Waeh.tngton, DC., in July 1978, claims
                     relocation expenses in the form of car-
                     rying charges deducted from his equity
                     refund in connection with the sale of
                     his cooperative apartment.  In the
                     absence of evidence clearly establishing
                     different arrangement, we will consider
                     an interest in a cooperatively owned
                     apartment building to be a form of owner-
                     ship in a residence for which real estate
                     expenses may be reimbursed as provided
                     under the Federal Travel Regulations
                     (FTR).  Since carrying charges in a
                     cooperative usually contain items such
                     as interest and principal payments on
                     the mortgage, insurance, utilities,
                     cost of management and maintenance, they
                     cannot be considered a cost incident to
                     the sale of a residence for which reim-
                     bursement is authorized under the FTR*

                 3.  Expenses for repaire, maintenance,
                     cleaning, and paintJng in connection
                     with owner's sale of cooperative apart-
                     ment may not be allowed as reimbur'able
                     relocation expenses tunder paragraph
                     2-6.2d of the FTR.  Claim for stock
