  MATTER  OF:   Domingo G. Altoran - Claim for relocation
                expenses, per diem and mileage

  DIGEBT: 1. Claim for temporary quarters incident to
             trahafer in October 1973 was denied since
             employee did not have lodging receipts.
             He was not aware that he had been transferred
             because transfer orders were not issued until
             January 1975, and, thus, he did not retain
             receipts, and was unable to obtain duplicate
             receipts. Lodging receipts are required,
             before this Office may permit payment of
             temporary lodging expense.

          2. Employee's claim for per diem and mileage
             incident to performance of temporary duty
             at his former duty station in San Juan,
             Puerto Rico, was denied due to uncertainty
             as to his actual headquarters.  Designation
             of employee's headquarters is administrative
             matter for determination by agency on basis
             of facts in particular case.  Ordinarily, it
             is place where employee would be required to
             spend most of his time.  Record discloses
             that performance of official business required
             employee to spend most of his time at designated
             headcuarters in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. Thus,
             he may be paid per diem and mileage incident
             to performance of official business in San
             Juan.

     This decision is on the appeal by Mr. Domingo G.
Altoran, an employee of the Internal Revenue Service, from
our Claims Division denial of his claim for reimbursement
of relocatioan expenses incurred incident to his transfer
from San Juan, Puerto Rico to Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, and
his subsequent transfer back to San Juan. Claims Division
Settlement No. Z-2585444, dated May 10, 1976, allowed
Mr. Altoran $120 for shipment of his household effects
to Mayaguez 9nd for their return to San Juan. However,
his claim for subsistence while occupying temporary quarters
incident to his ttansfers and for per diem and mileage
incurred while performing temporary duty were denied.
