           File:     B-230848

           Date:     September 6, 1988


           DIGEST

           A transferred employee claims temporary quarters subsistence
           expenses (TQSE) on behalf of his daughter who remained in
           temporary quarters after the employee moved into permanent
           quarters. His claim is denied under the provisions of the
           Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) governing miscellaneous
           expense reimbursement as well as TQSE. Miscellaneous
           expense reimbursement may not include expenses denied under
           other provisions of the FTR. The claim is denied under the
           regulations governing TQSE reimbursement since the employee
           moved into permanent quarters.


           DECISION

           This decision is in response to a request from an Authorized
           Certifying Officer, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI),
           Department of Justice. It concerns the entitlement of an
           FBI employee to be reimbursed 60 days of temporary quarters
           subsistence expenses (TQSE). We conclude that he may not be
           so reimbursed, for the following reasons.

           BACKGROUND

           Mr. Gerald G. Shockley, an employee of the FBI, was
           transferred from Mobile, Alabama, to Montgomery, Alabama.
           He was authorized TQSE incident to that transfer, not to
           exceed 60 days. Mr. Shockley's family comprised himself,
           his spouse and a college age daughter, who was living at
           home and commuting to a nearby college at his old duty
           station.

           Mr. Shockley and his family vacated their old residence and
           began occupying temporary quarters on April 13, 1987.
           On April 15, their household goods were delivered to their
           new residence in the Montgomery area, and Mr. Shockley and
           his spouse discontinued temporary quarters on April 16.
