# 302-8.100 Eligibility for extended storage of HHG during assignment to isolated locations in CONUS.
Extended storage of HHG belonging to an employee transferred or a new appointee assigned to an official station at an isolated location in CONUS may be allowed only when it is clearly justified under the conditions in this part and is not primarily for the convenience, or at the request of, the employee or the new appointee.
(a) As determined by the agency, an official station at an isolated location is a place of permanent or temporary duty assignment in CONUS at which employees have no alternative except to live where they are unable to use their HHG because:
(1) The type of quarters required to be occupied at the isolated official station will not accommodate the HHG; or
(2) Residence quarters which would accommodate the HHG are not available within reasonable daily commuting distance of the official station.
(b) The designation of an official station as isolated in accordance with paragraph (a) of this section shall not preclude a determination in individual instances that adequate housing is available for some employees stationed there based on housing which may be available within daily commuting distance and the size and other characteristics of each employee's immediate family. In such instances the station shall not be considered isolated with regard to those employees if the agency determines adequate family housing is available.
Heads of agencies concerned are responsible for designating the isolated official station at which conditions exist for allowing extended storage of HHG at Government expense for some or all employees.
