     John H. Anttonen - Claim for Attorney's Fee for
     Services and Travel and for Credit Report and
     Appraisal Fee
I.  Employee reclaims for reimbursement of attorney's
    fee denied for lack of itemization of services
    performed and cost attributable to each. Reim-
    bursement must be denied again since itemization
    provided by attorney lacks necessary specificity,
    and, therefore, may include items which are not
    properly reimbursable under FTR para. 2-6.2c.

2.  Incident to transfer and purchase of residence
    near new duty station, employee retained attorney
    whose office was not located in vicinity of new
    residence. Lmployee was charged $25 travel fee
    by attorney for travel on two different occasions,
    one for purpose of searching title and second for
    recording papers. R-eimbursement therefor may not
    be allowed since FTR para. 2-6.2c does not contain
    authority fo   ib          of aLLorey's travel
    fee under these circumstances.


               3.  Employee reclaims for reimbursement of credit
                   report ($25) and appraisal fee ($100) incurred
                   incident to purchase of residence at new duty
                   station. However, FTR para. 2-6.2b and para.
                   2-6.2d specifically limits reimbursement for an
                   appraisal fee and credit report, respectively,
                   to the amount customarily charged. Accordingly,
                   reimbursement must be lRited to $40 for the
                   appraisal fee and $25--the actual cost paid--
                   for the credit report which are within the
                   amounts customarily charged for such services.

     This action is in response to a request for an advance decision
from M1r. James F. Wagner, an authorized certifying officer, United
States Energy Research and Development Adainistration (LRDA).

     Mr., Wagner forwards a reclaim voucher for certain real estate
expenses submitted by Mr. John H. Anttonen, an employee of ERDA. The
