Department of Defense civilian employees participating in a Privately Owned Vehicle Import Control Program may be reimbursed for cost of reinstallation of catalytic converters upon reentry of vehicles into the United States. Cost of securing a bond allowing the vehicle to be admitted to the United States incurred by nonparticipants may also be reimbursed since it is required for those who do not participate in the program. 2. Members of the uniformed services are reim- bursed miscellaneous expenses incurred incident to a permanent change under 37 U.S.C. 407, a set allowance, which does not require an itemization of the expenses. Accordingly, no authority exists for any additional reimbursement of the costs of reconnecting a catalytic converter or the costs of securing a bond to allow the vehicle to be admitted to the United States on return from an overseas assignment. This advance decision responds to a request from the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower and Reserve Affairs), concerning whether the cost of reconnecting a catalytic converter on a vehicle for a civilian employee or a member of the uniformed service who is a member of the Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) Import Control Program may be reimbursed as a miscellaneous expense incident to relocation on returning to the United States after an overseas assignment. We are also asked whether the cost of securing a bond allowing the entry of the vehicle of an individual not participating in the program may be reimbursed. The matter has been assigned control number 138 by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee (PDTATAC). For the following reasons such reconnection and bond costs may be included as allowable miscellaneous expense items for civilian employees but may not be reimbursed for members of the uniformed services.
