MATTER OF:       Bonnie J. Zachary - Transportation of
                 Mobile Home

DIGEST:

          A transferred employee who transported
          her mobile home from her old to her new
          duty station is entitled to reimburse-
          ment for the transportation of a mobile
          home, in lieu of expenses for shipment
          of household goods, since she used the
          mobile home as her residence at her new
          duty station. However, she is not
          entitled to any additional miscellaneous
          expenses above an amount equivalent to
          2 weeks of her basic salary.



     An authorized certifying officer with the National
 Finance Center, United States Department of Agriculture,
 has asked whether a transferred employee, who has already
 received a miscellaneous expenses allowance equivalent to
 2 weeks of her basic salary, may be reimbursed additional
 amounts for miscellaneous expenses. We hold that, although
 the employee, Bonnie J. Zachary, is not entitled to reim-
 bursement of additional miscellaneous expenses, she is
 entitled to reimbursement for the expenses she incurred in
 transporting her mobile home from her old to her new duty
 station.


     Ms. Zachary was transferred by the Forest Service from
 Halfway, Oregon, to Baker, Oregon. By a travel authoriza-
 tion dated August 12, 1985, she was authorized transporta-
 tion of her immediate family, transportation and temporary
 storage of her household goods, temporary quarters
 subsistence expenses and a miscellaneous expenses allow-
 ance. Ms. Zachary traveled to her new duty station
 on August 29, 1985. Rather than selling her mobile home
 in Halfway, she decided to move it to Baker for use as her
 permanent residence there.
