                  In the Matter of STANLEY M. SCHWARTZ
 
 
        Stanley M. Schwartz, Denver, CO, Claimant.
 
        Earl R. Ohman, Jr., General Counsel, Occupational Safety and
   Health Review Commission, appearing  for Occupational Safety  and
   Health Review Commission.
 
   WILLIAMS, Board Judge.
 
        On May 25, 2000, claimant, Stanley M. Schwartz, appealed the
   denial by the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission of
   his  claim  for  reimbursement of  additional  temporary quarters
   subsistence  expenses (TQSE) in  connection with his reassignment
   from Dallas,  Texas, to Denver,  Colorado.  On January  30, 2001,
   the parties  submitted a  joint motion to  dismiss this  claim as
   settled.   Based  on the  record  before us,  the agency  has the
   authority  to  amend   the  original  travel   authorization  and
   authorize the  payment of thirty-five additional days  of TQSE to
   reflect  its definite intent which was inadvertently omitted from
   the  original travel orders.   Brian P.  Byrnes, GSBCA 14195-TRAV
   et al., 98-1 BCA   29,535;  Thomas A. McAfoose, GSBCA 15295-RELO,
   00-2 BCA   31,009;  William E. Day, GSBCA 14640-RELO; 99-2  BCA  
   30,421.  (Agency can retroactively amend travel orders when facts
   clearly demonstrate that some provision previously determined and
   definitely   intended   has  been   omitted   through   error  or
   inadvertence.)
 
        Accordingly, this claim is dismissed.
