Employee of Interior Department who
transferred from Reno, Nevada, to
Anchorage, Alaska, seeks reimburse-
ment of real estate expenses incurred
in sale and purchase of residences at
old and new duty stations. Title to
both residences was held in name of
a trust established by last will and
testament of deceased mother of em-
ployee's spouse.  Since title to resi-
dences was held in name of trust which
paid all expenses of real estate trans-
actions, title requirements of 5 U.S.C.
§ 5724a(a)(4) (1976) and para. 2-6.1c
of Federal Travel Regulations were not
met.  Therefore, no entitlement to re-
imbursement exists.


     This decision is in response to a request by
Ms. Mary M. Rydquist, Authorized Certifying Officer,
Bureau of Land Management, United States Department
of the Interior, as to the propriety of reimbursing
Mr. Carl A. Gidlund for real estate expenses in-
cident to his change of official station from Reno,
Nevada, to Anchorage, Alaska, in 1978.

     The pertinent facts and circumstances involved
in this claim are as follows: Mr. Gidlund is an em-
ployee of the Department of the Interior. His wife
is employed by the United States Forest Service, De-
partment of Agriculture. Both were selected to fill
positions in Alaska and the two agencies agreed that
the Interior Department would pay the transfer costs
to their new duty station. The claimed expenses in-
curred in the sale of the residence in Reno totaled
$8,307.50 and $202.75 was incurred incident to the
purchase of a residence in Anchorage.

     By her last will and testament, Ms. Hillis J.
Schmidt, deceased mother of Ms. Joan Elna Boduroff,
