handle is hein.gao/gaobadmsq0001 and id is 1 raw text is: The Comptroller General of the United States Wahington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matterof- Terry R. Carlstrom File: B-219845 Date: June 9, 1987 DIGEST Employee may not be reimbursed for real estate expenses incurred incident to settlement which took place 3 months beyond the maximum 3-year period within which real estate transactions must be completed under paragraph 2-6.2e of the Federal Travel Regulations. The fact that sale was delayed by actions of renters who remained in possession after they had ceased paying rent and had defaulted under terms of contract by which they agreed to purchase the employee's former residence does not toll the running of the 3-year period of limitation, which may not be waived or modified regardless of the circumstances responsible for the delayed settlement. DECISION Mr. Terry R. Carlstrom, an employee of the National Park Service, has appealed Settlement Certificate Z-2864529, March 9, 1987, issued by our Claims Group, which denied his claim for reimbursement of real estate expenses incurred in the sale of his residence incident to his change of official station. For the reasons stated below, we sustain the Claims Group's settlement and hold that the relocation expenses claimed may not be reimbursed. Mr. Carlstrom was authorized a change of permanent duty station from Anchorage, Alaska, to Washington, D.C. He reported for duty at his new official duty station on August 8, 1982. In connection with his transfer to Washing- ton, D.C., Mr. Carlstrom was authorized reimbursement for real estate expenses incurred in selling his former resi- dence in Alaska. Mr. Carlstrom has explained that his Alaska residence was placed on the market in June 1982 and was occupied by renters beginning in August 1982. On September 6, 1984, Mr. Carlstrom and the couple then renting the house executed an agreement under which the renters agreed to purchase the house after the sale of other property which they owned but not later than June 1, 1985.
