Mastagni - Temporary quarters allowance DIGEST: Incident to transfer, employee was authorized sub- sistence while occupying temporary quarters for a 10-day period. Employee's request for additional 10 days was orally authorized by his superior. Since administrative approval of an extension of time would have been granted if administrative office had not inadvertently delayed action on request for additional time, we have no objection to allowance of reimbursement for the additional 10-days claimed. This action is in response to a letter dated May 22, 1975, from Orris C. Huet, an Authorized Certifying Officer of the United States Department of Agriculture.

However, due to a heavy work-load the request was inadvertently misplaced and a typewritten request for the 10-cay extension was not handed to Mr. Mastagni for his signature until July 16, 1974. That request was approved by the proper administrative officer on July 17, 1974. In B-163025, dated August 12, 1968, our Office allowed the Forest Service to amend a travel authorization to grant an additiona -2Q days temporary quarters allowance due to an adminis- trative error.
