     Subpart A--Employee's Allowance for Househunting Trip Expenses
 
Sec. 302-4.2  What is the purpose of the househunting trip expenses allowance?

    The allowance for househunting trip expenses is intended to 
facilitate and expedite the employee's move from the old official 
station to the new official station and to lower the Government's 
overall cost for the employee's relocation by reducing the amount of 
time an employee must occupy temporary quarters. The allowance for 
househunting trip expenses provides the employee and/or spouse a period 
of time to concentrate on finding a suitable permanent residence at the 
new official station and thereby expedites the employee's relocation.
