Decision

           Wayne I. Tucker - Relocation Expenses - Temporary
Matterof:  Quarters Subsistence Expenses

File:      B-198510.3

Date:      August 23, 1989


DIGEST

1. An employee under permanent change-of-station orders
interrupted occupancy of temporary quarters at his new duty
station to travel to his old duty station to complete the
transfer of his household goods and the relocation of his
family. He stayed in his old residence for 3 days and in a
motel for 2 days. Except for the actual round-trip travel
en route between the new duty station and the old duty
station, the employee is not entitled to per diem for
purposes of completing transfer arrangements. However,
since the tolling of the temporary quarters subsistence
expenses (TQSE) period is interrupted only by the travel
time for which the employee receives per diem, TQSE may be
available to cover the days spent in the motel if the agency
determines that the allowable period in this case had not
expired.

2. While an employee occupies temporary quarters at his old
duty station to make arrangements for the transfer of his
household goods and family to his new duty station, he is
not entitled to local transportation expenses.


DECISION

An authorized certifying officer of the Department of
EnergyL/ asks whether an employee's reclaim voucher for
certain travel and transportation allowances incident to
a permanent change of duty station may be paid. For the
reasons stated below, we conclude that the claims were
properly disallowed.
