                          THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
 OECISION                 OF THE UNITED STATES
               9.       Z WASHINGTON. D.C. 20548

 FILE:    B-210170              DATE:    July 6, 1983
 MATTER OF:
                 Angus C. Jones - Excess temporary storage
                 charges
 DIGEST:

        An employee received a permanent change of
        station transfer from Washington, D.C., to
        Fort Sam Houston, Texas. As a condition
        of employment, he was required to perform
        temporary duty overseas for approximately
        120 days en route to Fort Sam Houston.
        Because of overseas assignment he found it
        necessary to store his household goods in
        excess of 60 days and seeks reimbursement
        on basis that he was entitled to non-
        temporary storage. Nontemporary storage
        ror overseas assignments only applies when
        the assignment is for permanent duty.
        Where such assignment is not overseas nor
        to an isolated United States location,
        storage rights are governed by FTR para.
        2'8.2c, which limits storage reimbursement
        to 60 days.

    This decision is in response to a request from the
Comptroller, Defense Mapping Agency, on the question as to
whether one of their employees is entitled to be reimbursed
for the cost of storage of his household goods in excess of
60 days, while performing temporary duty incident to a
permanent duty station transfer. Reimbursement is denied
since there is no authority for payment of storage beyond 60
days.

                         BACKGROUND

    Mr. Angus C. Jones transferred to the Inter American
Geodetic Survey (IAGS) from another branch of the Defense
Mapping Agency, effective June 8, 1980. As a result, he
received a permanent change of station transfer from
Washington, D.C., to Fort Sam Houston, Texas. At that time,
IAGS headquarters was located at Fort Clayton, Panama, but
was in the process ot being relocated'to Fort Sam Houston.
That relocation change was not formally established until
August 1, 1980.
