handle is hein.gao/gaobacsro0001 and id is 1 raw text is: UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 OFFICE OP GENERAL COUNSEL SEP 2s t981 B-204803 '- -Ake availai t to Puablic readn Mr. John D. Dalton District Counsel Small Business Administration 5000 Marble, N.E. - Suite 320 Albuquerque, New Mexico 87110 Dear Mr. Dalton: This letter is in response to yours dated August 27, 1981, concerning the relocation entitlements of your District Director, Mr. E. Maine Shafer. You indicate that Mr. Shafer was transferred to Albuquerque from Fargo, North Dakota, in November 1979. Since then he has been unable to sell his old residence in Fargo because of depressed market conditions and a scarcity of mortgage money. Nevertheless, he intends to eventually sell the property, and when that occurs he would like to have the costs of the sale classified as reimbursable relocation expenses related to his 1979 transfer. You also indicate that in 1980 the Small Business Administration granted Mr. Shafer a 1-year extension of time to complete the sale of his old residence and still remain eligible for reimbursement of the-sale costs. That extension is due to expire on November 19, 1981. Since Mr. Shafer does not believe he will be able to sell the property by that date, he has expressed an interest in obtaining an additional extension of time from the Small Business Administration. Essentially, you question whether the agency may grant him that further extension. Although a decision of the Comptroller General will not be issued on the basis of your letter, the following information may be of use to you. Reimbursement to Federal employees of expenses incurred in connection with residence transactions incident to a transfer of duty stations is authorized by subsection 5724a(a)(4) of title 5, United States Code. Implementing statutory regulations are contained in the Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) (FPMR 101-7, May 1973), issued by the General Services Administration.
