   FILE:  B-211880               DATE: February 8, 1984

   MATTER OF: William J. Shampine


   DIGEST:

     (1) An employee of the U.S. Geological
          Survey assigned to Saudi Arabia under
          the Foreign Assistance Act whose travel
          was governed by the Foreign Service
          Travel Regulations may not be reimbursed
          for temporary quarters expenses under
          the Federal Travel Regulations upon his
          return to the United States. However,
          the employee is eligible for a home
          service transfer allowance under sec-
          tion 250 of the Standardized Regulations
          (Government Civilians, Foreign Areas),
          as amended, under authority contained in
          the Foreign Service Act of 1980.

     (2) The home service transfer allowance,
          under 5 U.S.C. 5924(2)(B) prescribed in
          the Standardized Regulations (Government
          Civilians, Foreign Areas), provides
          reimbursement for subsistence and mis-
          cellaneous expenses for employees
          (including Foreign Service members)
          only when they are transferred to the
          United States between assignments to
          posts in foreign areas. Under author-
          ity of the Foreign Service Act of 1980
          the restriction between assignments in
          foreign areas was removed from the regu-
          lations. That change is valid as to
          Foreign Service members and others whose
          relocation allowances are authorized
          under the Foreign Service Act, but the
          restriction still applies to other
          employees not covered by the Act.

     The question presented in this case is whether
Mr. William J. Shampine, an employee of the U.S. Geological
Survey, Department of the Interior, may be reimbursed tempo-
rary quarters and subsistence expenses incident to his
