Daniel Moy - Shipment of Privately Owned
Vehicle at Government Expense


1. Claim  of transferred Federal employee for
   reimbursement  for shipment of privately
   owned  vehicle to new official station in Guam
   was properly denied where agehcy head would
   not authorize transportation as in the Govert-
   ment's interest piursant to 5 U.S. C. .5727(b)(2)
   and Federal Travel Regulations, FPMR  101-7,
   paragraph 2-10. 2(c).


           2.  Section 5727(b)(2) of title 5, U. S'C., and Fed-
               eral Travel Regulatioiis.. FPMR 101-7, para-
               graph 2-10. 2(6) vest dibretioity authority in
               agency heds to determine whether transportation
               of privately owned vehicles is in the Government's
               interest. The determination is a factual matter to
               be decided on a case-by-case bass, ,and therefore
               there is nothing arbitrdry and cai-pricious about an
               authorization polic'y of'.n agency head in 1975
               merely because it is chringed by his successor in
               1978.

  A This decision is in resbhae 'to a letter dated June 27, 1978,
from' Mr DaniblMoy,  appealihg the dedision of our Claims
Division In Settlement Certificate Z-2 728 649, Septeriiber 26, 1977,

of New York to Agana, Guam,  in Septenihr 1975, in connedtiun
with a transfer of official station incideritto employment with the
Department of the Interior on August 14, 1975.

     Settlement Certificate Z.-2728649, September 26, 1977, pro-
vides the following review of the basis of Mr. Moy's original claim:

     It is ybur contention that your situeih does meet
     the criteria set forth at paragraph P-10. 2(c) of the
     Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) to-justify a deter-
     mination that it is in the interest of the Government
