C. Bhuyan - Relocation Expenses


            .q
1. Employee, who was authorized a
    househuntin7 trip in connection with
    a permanent change of station, claims
    househunting expenses for his wife and
    two children. His agency denied the
    expenses incurred by his children,
    The agency action was correct since FTR
    para. 2-4,la does not authorize house-
    hunting expenses incurred by children
    of an employee, Agency correctly held
    that, even though househunting trip was
    to high rate geographical area, reimburse-
    ment was limited to highest statutory
    per diem rate, not actual expenses.
    However, for trips to and from airport
    -for househunting trip, employee is entitled
    to be reimbursed at usual rate for such
    trips, not reduced househunting mileage
    rate.
2.  Employee and wife traveled to new
    permanent duty station in two different
    privately owned vehicles (POV) and claimed
    mileage expenses at a rate of 20 cents
    per mile for each POV, and also claimed
    actual subsistence expenses. The agency
    reduced claim to 12 cents per mile for
    one POV and 8 cents per mile for the other
    based on FTR para. 2-2.3b. The agency
    also disallowed his claim for reimburse-
    ment for actual subsistence expenses,
    and instead authorized per diem based on
    highest statutory per diem rate, under
    FTR para. 2-2.3d. The agency action was
    in accord with provisions of FTR.


3. An employee was authorized
    quarters subsistence in co
    a permanent change of duty
