Decision



           David C. Funk - Excess Period of Temporary Storage
Matter of: of Household Goods

File:      B-227488

Date:      December 29, 1987

DIGEST

An employee, who was transferred and immediately thereafter
sent for long-term training at a location distant from his
new permanent duty station, was authorized temporary storage
of his household goods not to exceed 180 days. He alleges
that an agency official misinformed him that the government
would pay for storage of the household goods the entire time
he was away for training. The employee's request that we
waive the time limitation so as to permit reimbursement for
his costs for the additional 6-month period based on
extenuating circumstances is denied. Regardless of the
circumstances, the period for which reimbursement of storage
cost may be made is limited to the maximum period authorized
in the regulations, and our Office is without authority to
disregard those provisions or waive the time limitation
imposed therein.

DECISION

This decision is in response to a letter from Mr. David C.
Funk requesting reconsideration of our Claims Group
settlement Z-2864105 dated March 9, 1987, which disallowed
his claim for temporary storage of his household goods at
government expense for a period in excess of 180 days. We
sustain that disallowance for the following reasons.

BACKGROUND

Mr. Funk, an employee of the Department of the Air Force,
was transferred from Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, to
Norton Air Force Base, California, with a reporting date of
July 16, 1984. Incident to that transfer, he was authorized
temporary storage of household goods and personal effects
not to exceed 90 days.

Several days after reporting for duty at Norton Air Force
Base, Mr. Funk was sent to Maxwell Air Force Base to attend
the Air War College for long-term training during the period
