D!GEBT:


An employee who was reimbursed expenses
for shipping his household goods pursuant
to a permanent change of station subse-
quently moved his mobile home from the
old to the new duty station,   The employee
may be reimbursed costs of moving his
mobile home not to exceed the maximum
amount allowable for houisehold 9oods
shipment, with a deduction for amounts
previously paid to him for shipping his
household goods,  Althouigh an employee
is no. entitled to be reimbursed both
for the cost of shipping hts household
goods and for expenses relating to trans-
portation of his mobile home, he may
elect to be reimbursed the larger of
the cost of shipping his household goods
or moving his mobile home, within the
statutory limitation.


     This decision is in response to a request for an advance
decision front Thomas R. Lab, an authorized certifying officer
of the Bureau of Peclamation, Upper Colorado Regional Office,
U.S. Department of the Interior. The request concerns the
propriety of certifying for payment a reclaim voucher sub-
mitted by Mr. Alfred D. Stites, art employee of the Bureau
of Reclamation, for reimbursement of expenses incurred by
him in transporting his mobile home in connection uith hif
transfer of official station from Aston, Idaho, to Duchesne,
Utah, in June 1981.

     The issue for determination is whether Mr. Stites is
entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred in the
movement of his mobile home with a setoff for amounts paid
to him in connection with the prior shipment of his house-
hold goods.  For the reasons set forth below, we hold that
Mr. Stiltes may be reimbursed for those expanses incurred
in the transportation of his mobile home which are
allowable under the Federal Travel Regulations, FPMR 101-7,
para. 2.-7.3a (May 1973) (FTR), with a deduction for
amounts previously paid to him for the shipment of his
household goods, and limited under 5 U.S.C § 5724(b) to
