Tungol - Transportation of Privately Owned Vehicle Purchased Overseas An employee appointed to a position overseas was not informed that he was eligible to transport his privately owned motor vehicle (POV) at Government expense from the United States to his overseas duty station, In order to per- form his official duties, the employee purchased a foreign-manufactured automo- bile overseas, The employee may not be reimbursed for the expenses of shipping his POV to the United States since the Federal Travel Regulations authorize shipment of a POV from an overseas sta- tion to the United States only if it was shipped overseas at Government expense or is a replacement for a vehicle that was transported overseas. Carl H, Imlay, General Counsel, Administrative Office of the United States Courts, requests a decision concern- ing the claim of Wilfredo 09 Tungol fo. reimbursement of expenes incurred in shipping his privately owiled motor vehlile (POV) from Saipan, r1ariana Islands, to Honolulu, flawaii, We hold that the transportation expenses may not be reimbursed, since neither 5 U.S.C. S 5727(b) nor imple- menting regulations in Chapter 2, Part 10 of the Federal Travel Regulations, FPMR 101-7 (September 1981)(FTR), authorize transportation of a foreign-manufactured POV from the employee's overseas post of duty to the United States under these circumstances. In February 1900, fir. Tungol received an appointment, not to exceed 2 years, as Law Clerk for the U.S. District Court of the Northern Hariana Islands, a territorial court of the United States. Although the Administrative Office states that fir. Tungol was eligible at the time of his appointment to transport his POV at Government expense from his r.sidence in Honolulu to his duty station in Saipan, agency officials failed to advise the employee of his eligibility. Consequently, the employee sold his automobile in Honolulu before traveling to Saipan. L'ATE: !!ovember 30, 19P2 I12o6u1
