Decision




Matter of: Mark A. Wohlander

File:        B-238300

Date:        October 4, 1990


DECISION

This is a request for a decision as to whether Mr. Mark A.
Wohlander, an employee of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI or Bureau), U.S. Department of Justice, should be granted
an extension beyond 60 days for the occupancy of temporary
quarters, incident to his change of official duty station from
Dallas, Texas, to Washington, D.C.l/ Mr. Wohlander is not
entitled to an extension of temporary quarters subsistence
expenses (TQSE).

Incident to his transfer, Mr. Wohlander was authorized 60 days
of TQSE. He commenced occupancy of temporary quarters on
February 9, 1988. Due to the financial hardship created by
the sale of his residence, Mr. Wohlander declined to take a
househunting trip.

On February 11, 1988, Mr. Wohlander signed a contract to have
a new townhouse constructed in Centreville, Virginia, to be
completed several months beyond the conclusion of his initial
60 days of temporary quarters occupancy. A low appraisal on
the property caused the cancellation of loan processing. A
new agreement was negotiated in the form of an option to
purchase which was valid until June 3, 1988. Mr. Wohlander
exercised his option to purchase and executed another purchase
agreement on March 12, 1988, for another townhouse in the same
development. Settlement occurred on July 29, 1988, almost
4 months beyond the conclusion of his 60-day occupancy of
temporary quarters.

An agency may pay a transferred employee subsistence expenses
for himself and his immediate family for an initial period of
not more than 60 days while occupying temporary quarters. The
head of an agency may grant an extension, not to exceed
60 additional days, provided the agency determines that there
are compelling reasons for the continued occupancy of
