MATTER OF:       Dikran Hazirjian - Pro Rata Reimbursement
                 of Real Estate Expenses - Sale of
                 Two-Family House
OIGEST:


     1.   Where employee sells a two-family house
          incident to a transfer to a new duty
          station, otherwise allowable real
          estate expenses which are based on a
          flat fee, without regard to purchase
          price, should, if reasonable, be reim-
          bursed in full.

     2.   Where employee sells a two-family house
          incident to a transfer to a new duty
          station, and both sections are identi-
          cal in area but only the employee had
          use of the land, otherwise allowable
          real estate expenses which are based
          upon the sale price of the house may be
          reimbursed to the employee on a pro
          rata basis calculated in accordance

          the total land value to the employee's
          residence area.

authorized certifying officer of the Department of Treasury.

the Internal Revenue Service, in connection with the sale of
a two-family home in Dumont, New Jersey, due to his transfer
to Richmond, Virginia. Mr. Hazirjian's expenses may be paid
as discussed below.

     Mr. Hazirjian claims $5,565.49, which represents 68.11

his two-family home. He arrived at the 68.11 percent figure
by subtracting fron 100 percent, 31.89 percent, which is
one-half of the percentage figure of the improvements value
of $43,500, divided by the assessed property value of
$68,200. The 68.11 percent figure represents the assessed
