        Dear He, Price:

             We refer to your letter of tfay 10, 1973, referenco f1-18, requesting
        our decision as to whether a travel voucher oubnttted by ir, Frederick Is
        Untiedt, an employee of the C.vil 'Aeronautics Board, in thLe amount of
        $567.74 forlieinburuement of tempornry quarters eipenseo icurred in
        connection with a transfer of official station, may ba eertified for
        payrmit.

             According to the records presented fr, Untledt was tranuferred an
        an official change of duty station from Washington, D.C,, to Itirnl,
        Florida, effective Novenbon 14, 1972.  lle had entered into a contract to
 '      purchase a new residence in Minii on October 22, 1972, and moved into
        that residence upmn arrival in Miami on Nloveriber 14, 1972, undor an
        agreeLment to pay a rental fee of $14 per day until closuing and trnnqfer
        of title. The date of the closing was December 11, 2.972.

             Mr. Untiedt's original clan for reimbursenent of varioua v.xpensea
        incident to his transfer included a claim for subsistence ihila occupying
        temporary quarters in the anount of $567.74 based on the costs hu in-
        curred while occupying his new residence for the period tlovenber 14
        through December 10, That part of his orisinal claimv an dilallc'ied on
        the basis of our decision B-160904, dated Mtarch 7, 1967. fint do'ioion
        involved an employoe .ho moved wdth his fnnily into their new resitdence
        the day after their arrival at the new official station under an tgree-
        sent to pay rent until final purchase arranSements were conswnatcd,
        The employee claimied the first 30 days rental payment as an allovni.ce
        for teporary quarters under uection 2.5 of Bureau of the Budget Crcular
        Ko. A-56, jRevised October 12, 1966, since final settlement was not held
*       untl one month after occupancy began.  We denied the  employee'as claim
        on the ground that the quarters lie and hin family were occupying durina
        the tiubject period was their pennanent residouce and consequently the
        claimed rent could not be considered as rental of temporary quarters
        vithin the manning of section 2.5 of the above circular.
