MATTER OF: Harry E. Johnson - Excess temporary storage
             costs


DIGEST:


Employee of Federal Aviation Authority
who found it necessary to store house-
hold goods in excess of 60 days due to
temporary duty assignment made soon after
permanent change of station may not be
reimbursed for temporary storage charges
in excess of 60 days. Reimbursement of
costs of storage beyond 60-day temporary
period is not authorized regardless of
extenuating circumstances.


     This decision is in response to the appeal of Mr. Harry E.
Johnson from the determination of our Claims Group, Settlement
Certificate Z-2822845, August 1, 1980, to disallow his claim
for reimbursement of $129.36 for 1 month temporary storage of
his household goods.

istration (FAA), was transferred from Dallas, Texas, to Kansas
City, Missouri on January 13, 1980. Shortly after his trans-

duty. The temporary duty lasted approximately 5 weeks and
Mr. Johnson states that as a result, his change of station
move was interrupted, and he found it necessary to keep his
household goods in storage an additional month. Mr. Johnson
was authorized 60 days temporary storage of household goods
at Government expense.

     Our Claims Group denied Mr. Johnson's claim for reim-
bursement for an additional month of temporary storage on
the basis of paragraph 2-8.2c of the Federal Travel Regula-
tions (FPMR 101-7, May 1973), which provides as follows:

     Temporary storage time limit. The time al-
     lowance for temporary storage shall not ex-
     ceed 60 days provided that an additional 30
     days may be allowed an employee who returns
     to his place of actual residence for leave
     prior to serving a new tour of duty outside
     the conterminous United States either at a
