   FILE:                              DATE:      JUN 25 1975

   MATTER OF:
                  Robert L. Donelson - Claim for subsistence while
   DIGEST:         occupying temporary quarters
               Imployee who was transferred from Fresno, California,
               to Boise, Idaho, occupied temporary quarters in motel
               for 2-1/4 days and then moved to rented house which
               he occupied until subsequent transfer back to Fresno
               5 months later. Claim for additional subsistence
               while occupying temporary quarters for rented house
               is allowed. Employee evidences intent not to occupy
               rented house on permanent basis by submitting letters
               from landlady and realtor showing that house was
               rented on temporary basis und that active search for
               permanent housing continued until notice of transfer
               back to Fresno.

     This is a request for an advance decision submitted by letter of
Febtuary 12, 1975, fMom Nd   ABacknl       n   thorized ctifyig
officer of the Bureau of Reclamation, United States Department of the
Interior, as to the propriety of relimbursing Robert L. Doneleon, an
employee of the Bureau of Reclamiation, for subsistence while occupy-
Ing temporary quarters incident to a permanent transfer of duty sta-
tion.  By travel order dated September 30, 1974, Mr. Donelson was
authorized to travel from Fresno, California, to Boise, Idaho. The
travel order, anong other things, authorized payment of subsistence
while occupying temporary quarters for a maximum of 30 days less a
house-hunting trip. Since the file indicates that the employee used
6 days for a house-hunting trip, this would leave a balance of 24 days
for which he would be entitled to subsistence while occupying tempo-
rary quarters. While Mr. Donelson's vouchor indicates that he is
claiming a total of 24 days' subsistence while occupying temporary
quarters, he previously claimed and was paid for 2-1/4 days, for
which a proper adjustment was made on his voucher. Thus, Mr. Donelson
Is actually claiming an additional 21-3/4 days' subsistence while
occupying temporary quarters.

     Upon arriving in Boise in the latter part of October 1974,
Mr. Donelson and his family obtained motel accommodations for 2-1/4
days prior to occupying a house that he had made arrangements to rent
