Moffit - Tour Renewal Agreement Travel Matter of:. B-234993 File: Date: October 5, 1989 DIGEST An employee stationed in Alaska who served only 17 months of a 24-month service agreement is not eligible for tour renewal agreement travel under 5 U.S.C. S 5728 (1982) and may not be reimbursed for travel performed at personal expense. DECISION This decision is in response to a request from the Forest Service, Department of Agriculture, concerning the entitle- ment of an employee and her family to reimbursement for travel as overseas tour renewal agreement travel under 5 U.S.C. S 5728 (1982). For the reasons that follow, we conclude that the employee may not be reimbursed for such travel. The employee, Ms. Judith A. Moffit, transferred to Sitka, Alaska, on October 11, 1983, and signed a 2-year service agreement in accordance with Forest Service policy. Although her service period was completed on October 10, 1985, she continued working under that agreement and did not execute a 2-year tour renewal agreement until December 1, 1986. In January 1987, Ms. Moffit took her vacation leave and tour renewal agreement travel. In June 1988, after Ms. Moffit had completed approximately 17 months of her second 2-year tour of duty in Alaska, she submitted a new tour renewal agreement and requested that she be permitted to take a second vacation trip at govern- ment expense in July 1988. The agency refused to accept that tour renewal agreement or approve her request. Ms. Moffit and her family performed round-trip travel at personal expense in the latter half of 1988, and she requested reimbursement claiming that the trip constituted a second tour renewal trip.
