Where an agency issued travel orders allowing the payment of certain relocation allowances to a transferred employee, the agency is presumed to have made the determination that the transfer was in the interest of the Government. Unless the original orders were arbitrary, capricious or clearly erroneous, we will not overturn the agency's original determination that the transfer was made in the interest of the Government. 2. A transferred employee of the Peace Corps, was authorized transportation expenses, temporary lodging expenses, shipment of household effects and temporary storage, but he was not authorized real estate expenses. He is entitled to reimbursement of real expenses in accordance with part 6, chapter 2, of the Federal Travel Regulations since he was transferred in the interest of the Government and the regulations contemplate that certain expenses will be uniformly allowed to all transferred employees. Budgetary constraints are not an acceptable reason for denying certain relocation expenses to a transferred employee. 3. An employee placed his residence at his old duty station on the market for sale before he received official notice of transfer. However, the employee did not accept an offer to purchase his residence until after official notice of transfer. Therefore, on the date of official notice of transfer, the employee held title to and lived in his residence. The sale of the employee's residence at his old duty station was incident to his transfer, and the employee may be reimbursed for these real estate expenses. Q)LL03-7t4 1 L6
