Prior to the move, the ROW PD Manager may approve requests for personalty storage

when the process of relocating from the acquired site to the replacement site is delayed for reasons beyond the control of the displaced person

. The necessity for such storage must be documented in the

ROW PD

project files. The duration of storage approved by the ROW PD Manager should be for a reasonable and necessary amount of time, not to exceed 12 months

, starting at the date of vacation from the acquired site and ending when the replacement site becomes available

. Costs for personalty storage exceeding 12 months require approval by the ROW Program Office. Costs for storing personalty on the remainder of real property being acquired are not eligible. The same exclusion applies to costs for storing personalty on other property owned or leased by the displacee or a member of his/her family.
