Chapman, B-230880, Dec. 12, 1988, and decisions cited. DECISION This decision responds to a request from an Authorized Certifying Officer, National Finance Center, Department of Agriculture,' concerning the entitlement of a transferred employee, Mr. William Buchanan, to be reimbursed real estate expenses incurred incident to the sale of his residence in Raleigh, North Carolina, more than 3 years after he reported for duty at his new station in Washington, D.C. Mr. Buchanan states that, although he reported for duty on September 14, 1987, he appealed that transfer by seeking retransfer to his old duty station as part of an EEO discrimination complaint filed by him in May 1988. He argues that, since his complaint was not resolved until approximately 2-1/2 years later, his transfer did not become final until then and the 3-year limitation period should not begin to run until that time. Section 302-6.1(e)(1) and (2) of the Federal Travel Regula- tion (FTR)2 provides in combination that the settlement dates for the sale of a residence for which reimbursement is requested, must occur not later than 3 years after the date that the employee reported for duty at the new official station. 'Ms. Jeanne DiGange Reference: FSD-1 WDM. 241 C.F.R. § 302-6.1(e) (1990).
