MATTER OF:     William F. Krone - Reimbursement of Travel
                  and Transportation Expenses -
                  Transferred Employee
OIGEST:



       Forest Service employee in Alaska, who
       was entitled to travel and transportation
       costs to home of record as a result of
       completion of service agreement, trans-
       ferred to the Department of the Treasury
       in Long Beach, California. Employee is
       entitled to reimbursement by the Forest
       Service for the costs of travel and
       transportation expenses to new station
       since he relocated before effective date
       of Treasury appointment. Reimbursement
       should be made to the extent that it does
       not exceed constructive costs of travel
       and transportation to home of record.

Service, to be reimbursed for certain travel and reloca-

the regsons stated below, we hold that he is entitled to
reimbursement of such expenses, not to exceed the con-
structive cost of travel and transportation expenses to
his place of actual residence, and that these costs should
be paid by the Department of Agriculture.

                         FACTS

     Mr. Krone was hired by the Forest Service, Depart-
ment of Agriculture in October 1980 for a tour of duty in
Alaska. At that time, the Forest Service paid Mr. Krone
all of the allowable expenses due a new hire to an offi-
cial duty station outside the conterminous United States.
When Mr. Krone was hired he signed an agreement to remain
in Government service for 24 months before he and his
family would be entitled to return transportation to his
