Karty- Relocation Expenses - Temporary v. Permanent Duty Station File: B-225351 Date: June 2, 1987 DIGEST An employee's permanent duty station was to be relocated to larger quarters at a new site approximately two miles distant from the old duty station. Due to the need for extensive renovation of the new quarters, the employee and others were quartered at an interim location, which was closer to the employee's residence, for a period of 9 months. Upon the subsequent move to the newly renovated quarters, the employee claims entitlement to relocation - expense reimbursement, contending that the interim move was a permanent change of station and that when the move was made to final destination, it increased his commuting distance more than 10 miles. The claim is denied. Whether an assignment to a particular location is temporary or permanent is a question of fact. In this case the record shows that the interim location was clearly a temporary duty station and that the employee's subsequent move to the renovated office space does not entitle him to relocation expenses. DECISION This decision is in response to a request from the Chief, Accounting and Finance Division, Defense Communications Agency (DCA). It concerns the entitlement of one of its employees to be reimbursed permanent change of station relocation expenses. We conclude that the employee is not so entitled, for the following reasons. BACKGROUND Mr. Steven L. Karty was employed by the DCA in October 1983, located in its Systems Engineering Support Division (Code G630), at DCA Headquarters, 8th Street and So. Courthouse Road, Arlington, Virginia. At that time, Mr. Karty resided at 1605 North Brunswick Street, Sterling Park, Virginia.
