MATTER OF:     Charles L. Steinkamp - Relocation Expenses


DIGEST:    The claimant transferred from a
           position in the Office of the
           Architect of the Capitol to one
           in the Department of Energy as
           a manpower shortage category ap-
           pointee. There was no transfer
           between agencies for the purposes
           of 5 U.S.C. S 5724a because the
           Office of the Architect of the
           Capitol is not included within the
           definition of agency under 5 U.S.C.
           S 5721. Therefore, the claimant is
           limited to recovering the expenses
           allowed under 5 U.S.C. § 5723 for
           manpower shortage positions, and he
           is not entitled to the additional
           relocation expenses allowable under
           5 U.S.C. S 5724a.

     The issue in this case is whether Mr. Charles L.
Steinkamp, a reinstated career Government employee of the
Department of Energy (DOE), is entitled to be reimbursed
for relocation expenses, under 5 U.S.C. S 5724a (1976),
after transferring to the DOE in Harahan, Louisiana,
as a manpower shortage category employee, from a position
with the Office of the Architect of the Capitol in
Washington, D.C.

     Because the Office of the Architect of the Captiol is
not an agency within the meaning of 5 U.S.C. S 5721
(1976), we hold that Mr. Steinkamp is not entitled to
relocation expenses under 5 U.S.C. S 5724a, but is limited
to those expenses already allowed under 5 U.S.C. S 5723
(1976).
