  FILE:   B-212089              DATE:   July 13, 1983

  MATTER OF:     John L. LeRoy - Transportation of Household
                 Goods - 2-Year Time Limitation
  DIGEST:

        Employee is not entitled to reimbursement
        of expenses of transporting household
        goods in connection with his permanent
        change of station from Hartwell, Georgia,
        to Calhoun Falls, South Carolina, on
        November 12, 1978, since they were not
        transported within 2 years of date on
        which he reported for duty at new official
        station as required by FTR para. 2-1.5a(2)
        (May 1973). The amendment to FTR para.
        2-1.5a(2), allowing a 1-year extension of
        the 2-year time limitation, when a 1-year
        extension of the 2-year period allowed for
        the sale of a residence is granted, is
        applicable only to employees whose
        entitlement period had not expired prior
        to August 23, 1982. Since the claimant's
        entitlement period expired prior to that
        date, the amendment is not applicable to
        his claim.

     Mr. John L. LeRoy, an employee of the Corps of
Engineers, Department of the Army, has appealed Settlement
Certificate Z-2844887, dated February 9, 1983, issued by our
Claims Group, Accounting and Financial Management Division,
which denied his claim for reimbursement of the expenses of
$4,575.77 incurred in transporting his household goods from
Hartwell, Georgia, to Calhoun Falls, South Carolina, inci-
dent to his change of official station. For the reasons
hereafter stated, the claimed expenses may not be reim-
bursed.

     Mr. LeRoy reported for duty at Calhoun Falls, South
Carolina, on November 12, 1978. He states that when he
accepted the position of Resource Manager, he was not aware
that the duty station would be located in the city of
Elberton, Georgia, rather than at the Russell Project dam
site. Since a real estate office was located in Elberton
with adequate office space, he agreed that such office would
serve as a reasonable temporary location for the Resource
