      Mattero' Incident to Transfer

      File:    B-223102

      Date:     September 25, 1987


      DIGEST

      1. A transferred employee occupying temporary quarters
      rented by the month at his new duty station may not be
      reimbursed a parking fee that is separate from the monthly
      rent.

      2. A transferred employee who rented temporary quarters on
      a monthly basis should have the total monthly rent prorated
      to only the days that are counted as part of the temporary
      quarters period within the monthly rental period. The days
      that the employee performed temporary duty interrupted the
      temporary quarters period and are not counted as part of the
      temporary quarters period.

      3. A commercial loan application fee charged an employee
      for the purchase of a house incident to transfer may be
      reimbursed under FTR para. 2-6.2(d) as a fee similar to an
      FHA or VA fee for loan application.

      quarters period; and whether the employee may be reimbursed
      a commercial loan application fee for the house the employee
      purchased and moved into following the temporary quarters
      period.l/ We conclude that the separate parking fee may not
