Bruh-Temporary Quarters Subsistence Expenses-Shared Lodging An employee shared a private reaidence leased by another Government employee and the employee's daughter shared an apartment with a fellow college student during the period for which temporary quarters stubsistenv:e expenses are claimed, The shared apartment arrange- ment involves considerations different from the rules which pertain to lodgings furnished by a friend or relative, where it is difficult to place a value on the services furnished. An employee who shares responsibility for private quarters with another individual generally shares ex- penses on a pro rata basis at a fixed monthly amount. Therefore, he need not supply evidence that additional expense resulted from ihis lodging. John M. Gregg, Chief, Financial Services Branch, Gen- eral Services Administration (GSA), Washington, D.C., re- quests an advance decision concerning the propriety of certifying for payment a vouchor submitted by Brian M. Bruh for temporary quiarters subsistence expenses (TOSE) for him- self and his daughter following his transfer and permanent change of stition from the Internal Revenue Service in Boston, Massachusetts, to GSA in Washington, D.C., in July 1980. The issue for determination is whether an employee who shares responsibility tor private quarters with another in- dividual, during the period for which TQSE is claimed, is required to submit evidence of additional cost which resulted fron his lodging in accordance with the standard of proof applicable to cases in which a friend or relative furnishes the employee's lodging. For the reasons set forth below, we hold that the rules pertaining to an employee who utilizes the facilities of a friend or relative do not apply in the context of shared apartment arrangements. b - St FILE:
