handle is hein.gao/gaocrptadqy0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Kenneth Bellamy File: B-261639 Date: May 24, 1996 DIGEST 1. A transferred employee purchased a lot near his new duty station, settled on it, and then constructed a residence, but final settlement on the residence occurred after the third anniversary of the date the employee reported for duty. The employee requests that the 3-year time limit in § 302-6. 1(e), Federal Travel Regulation (FTR), be waived because litigation between the contractor and the employee caused the delay. Since the provisions of the FTR have the force and effect of law, this Office is without authority to modify or waive those requirements. William Buchanan, B-245281, Feb 20, 1992. 2. A transferred employee purchased a lot near his new duty station, settled on it and then constructed a residence. Although final settlement on the residence occurred after the third anniversary of the date the employee reported for duty, the employee occupied the nearly completed residence as his commuting residence before the time limit expired. The allowable expenses he incurred at the lot purchase settlement may be reimbursed. Lloyd E. McLaughlin, B-189997, Feb. 1, 1978. DECISION This decision responds to a request from the Manager, Financial Services Branch, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).' The question asked is whether a transferred employee may be reimbursed for expenses incurred incident to the purchase of a lot when the final settlement on a newly constructed residence did not occur until after the maximum time limit for residence transactions had expired. We conclude that allowable expenses incurred to purchase the lot may be reimbursed, but not the expenses incurred at final settlement after the 3-year time limit had expired. 712523 1Ms. Deborah A. Osipchak.
