Stebbins - Real Estate Transaction Expenses- DIGEBT: An employee who transferred in May 1980, occupied Government quarters at his new permanent duty station immediately upon transfer. In July 1982, he was notified that he had 1 year to vacate those quarters. In June 1983, he purchased a residence there and sold his old resi- dence. He claims reimbursement for real estate expenses incurred 3 years after the date of transfer on the basis that the need to purchase and sell residences did not arise until he was told to vacate those quarters. The claim is denied since under the provisions of Federal Travel Regulations para. 2-6.1e, then in effect, the time limit within which the transac- tions must occur begins to run when employee reported for duty and expires no later than 2 years after that reporting date. That regulatory limitation does not permit any exceptions and may not be waived. ISSUE The issue in this decision concerns the entitlement of an employee to be reimbursed for real estate expenses incurred more than 2 years after his transfer to a new duty station. We hold that the employee may not be reimbursed for expenses incurred beyond the 2-year time limitation then in effect. BACKGROUND This decision is in response to a request from Ms. Nancy Williams, an authorized certifying officer with the National Park Service, Department of the Interior. The matter involves the entitlement of Park Police Officer Charles R. Stebbins to be reimbursed real estate expenses incident to a permanent change-of-station transfer. Officer Stebbins was transferred from Washington, D.C., to New York City, New York, by Travel Authorization dated n3i Co
