Mr. Y, Nakashima
Deputy Accounting and Finance Officer
Through Assistant Comptroller for Accounting
   and Finance (1IQUSAF)
Department of the Air Force
Denver, Colorado 80205                             -

Dear Mr. Nakashima:

     We refer to your letter of May 2, 1972, reference ACFPT, which
was forwarded June 5, 1972, to this Office through the Per Diem, Travel
and Transportation Allowance Co--ittee, and assigned PDTATAC Control
No. 72-20, regarding the entitlement of Mr. Shuichi Ono, presumably an
American citizen, to reimbursement of amounts paid incident to obtain-
ing passports for himself and his three sons. 11r. Ono is a local hire
with whom a transportation agreement was executed in accordance with
paragraph C4002-3 of the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR), Volume 2, and
who has earned renewal agreement travel pursuant to the provision of
paragraph C4001, JT.  ie, however, contemplates no such travel at
this tir--.

     Mr. Ono has claimed reimbursement for the $12 passport fee for him-
self and for each of his three sons, as well as for the $3.23 per person
cost of photographs incident to obtaining those passports. His claim is
for a total of $60.90 and is made pursuant to the authority of paragraph
C9010-2 of JTR, and paragraph 40250 of Air Force Manual (A111) 177-103.
You express doubt as to the propriety of reimbursement of those expenses
under the cited regulations.

     Paragraph C9010-2 of JTR provides for reimbursezment of expenses of
obtaining or renewing a passport as follows:

     2. CONTEM1PLATED OFTICIAL TRAVEL, PASSPORTS A'D VISA

          a. Ccnral. Any employee who is officially
     required to obtain or renew a passport or visa may
     be reimbursed for the expense incurred for the
     issuance o: renewal of a passport or visa, not-with-
     standing that actual travel may not occur. This
     8uthor9ty fcr rcin'urse:ant includes an e.ployee
