Nyman - Transportation of Private Vehicle File: B-226426 Date: January 19, 1988 DIGEST An employee retiring from an overseas post who had a new automobile shipped directly to New York City from the overseas factory without delivery to him at his last over- seas post is not entitled to government reimbursement of costs he incurred to transport the automobile from New York City to his residence since he did not purchase it for use in a foreign country, as required to qualify for reimburse- ment under the Foreign Affairs Manual. DECISION Mr. David E. Nyman requested his former employing agency, the Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation, to reimburse him for costs he incurred to transport a new automobile between New York City and his residence in Minnesota. The car was ordered while he was serving at his last duty station in Belgium prior to his retirement. The car was shipped directly from the over- seas factory to New York. In this decision we hold that the costs may not be reimbursed because Mr. Nyman did not use the vehicle in Belgium.I/ Mr. Nyman was stationed in Brussels, Belgium, before his retirement on June 28, 1983. Upon his retirement, he was authorized to travel from Brussels, Belgium, to Saint Paul, Minnesota. His travel orders were amended to authorize shipment at government expense of a new 1983 Volvo automobile. Mr. Nyman had contracted for the purchase of the Volvo in Brussels. He says that he had arranged to pick up the car in Brussels and then drive it to Antwerp for shipment to New York. However, based on 1/ Mr. James D. Wallace, Authorized Certifying Officer, Federal Aviation Administration, requested our decision.
