handle is hein.gao/gaobadugd0001 and id is 1 raw text is: COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. D.C. 20548 .- B-177323 iI-I::S '!i' B177323 February 2, 1973 Ms. Rose M. Sperling Authorized Certifying Officer Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service Dear Ms. Sperling: Further reference is made to your letter of November 28, 1972, with enclosures, requesting an advance decision as to whether a voucher in favor of Mr. for reimbursement of real estate expenses incurred in the sale of his residence at his old official duty station may be certified for payment. Your letter enclosures indicate the employee was authorized a change of official station from Richmond, Virginia, to Baltimore, Maryland, under travel authorization No. 0-71-35 dated July 29, 1970, for travel to begin on or about August 15, 1970. Mr. reported for duty at, . . . . . . ... the new duty station on September 22, 1970, however he was unable to find .. ... a purchaser for his dwelling at the old official duty station during the following year although he contracted for the services of several realtors for that purpose. Eventually, on October 25, 1971, he entered into a lease agreement with a lessee which included an option to purchase on or before July 10, 1972, however, the lessee did not exercise the purchase option. Finally the employee found a purchaser and a sales contract was signed on August 2, 1972, and settlement occurred on September 11, 1972, almost two years af'er he reported to the new duty station. Apparently Mr. seliiu:g difficulty arose from a iepressed real estate market in the Richmond area resulting from unusual social and economic conditions. * Mr. is now requesting reimbursement for the expenses incurred for the September 11, 1972 settlement on the basis that he should be granted an extension of the one-year limit placed on housing settlements by section 4.le of Office of Management and Budget (0B ) Circular No, A-56, revised June 26, 1969. Section 4.le of 00 Circular No. A-56 states: e. The settlement dates for the sale and purchase or lease termination transactions for which reimburse- ment is requested are not later than one (initial) year after the date on which the emplovee re-orted for duty at the new official station, except that (1) an appro- prIate extension of time may be authorized or approved -'C........-. -.
