MATTER OF:      George M. Lightner - Relocation Expenses -
                Mobile Home


DIGEST:


Transferred employee who shipped 4,280 pounds
of household goods separate from mobile home
because carrier moving mobile home would not
accept it weighing more than manufacturer's
weight, may not be reimbursed for cost of that
shipment.  Allowance for movement of mobile
home is in lieu of allowance for shipping
household goods. Cost of storing trailer
and rental of post office box are not reimburs-
able as miscellaneous expenses. Employee may
be reimbursed for $50.38, including spouse's
driver's license, as miscellaneous expenses.


     This matter arises from a request for an advance decision
submitted by an authorized certifying officer of the Department of
Agriculture, concerning the authority for reimbursing Mr. George M.
Lightner for certain expenses incurred incident to his transfer of
duty station.

     Under the authority of Travel Authorization 10.01.00086,
September 5, 1974, Mr. Lightner, a forester with the Forest Service,
was transferred from Boise, Idaho, to Petersburg, Alaska. I1r.Lightner
elected to have his mobile home moved at Government expense. Ac-
cording to a statement in the record from Mr. Lightner, he was
advised by the carrier that was to move his mobile home, that they
would not move a mobile Home weighing more than the manufactured
weight, including original furnishings, but not including personal
effects.  He had 4,280 pounds of household goods shipped separately
at a cost of $418.58, for which he is seeking reimbursement.

     Mr. Lightner is also claiming in excess of the maximum allowable
miscellaneous expense allowance. Based upon his salary, he may
receive $526.81 for miscellaneous expenses. He has already been
paid $450 for expenses relating to setting up his mobile home. In
addition he is claiming the following items as miscellaneous ex-
penses:
