handle is hein.gao/gaobadnig0001 and id is 1 raw text is: aThe Comptroller General of the United States Wshington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matterof: Donald R. Mitchell - Loan Origination Fee File: B-229443 Date: December 9, 1988 DIGEST An Air Force employee claimed reimbursement of a loan origination fee of 2 percent. The agency's determination to limit reimbursement to 1 percent was based on data showing that 1 percent was the dominant fee in the area of the employee's new duty station. The employee contends that the data shows a range of fees from 1 to 3 percent and that the 2 percent claimed is reasonably within that range. The Air Force, however, properly limited reimbursement to 1 percent since the law and implementing regulations limit reimburse- ment to the customary charge in the area for loan origi- nation fees, and the dominant fee represents the customary charge. DECISION This responds to a request for a decision as to whether an Air Force civilian employee should be reimbursed the full 2 percent he claims as a loan origination fee. For the following reasons, we conclude that the Air Force properly limited reimbursement to 1 percent.l/ BACKGROUND Donald R. Mitchell, who was transferred in June 1986, presented a claim for reimbursement of a loan origination fee of 2 percent of the amount of a conventional mortgage loan he obtained to purchase a residence in the vicinity of his new official duty station, Wright-Patterson Air Force l/ The request was made by the Chief, Accounting and Finance Branch, Headquarters 2750th Air Base Wing (AFLC), Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. The request was approved by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee and assigned Control No. 87-24. /377o
