Patnode OIGEST: Prior to his transfer from the United States to Japan, a Department of Defense employee was erroneously advised that if he purchased an automobile in Japan rather than ship his automobile purchased in the United States to Japan, he would be eligible for Government shipment of the automobile purchased in Japan back to the United States upon a sub- sequent transfer. Although the employee's travel orders incident to the subsequent transfer from Japan authorized Government shipment of an automobile, the employee may not be reimbursed for the shipping expenses since the Federal Travel Regulations author- ize Government shipment of an employee's automobile from an overseas station only if it is shipped to the overseas station at Government expense or is a rerplacement for a vehicle that was shipped to the overseas station. May an employee who was erroneously advised about requirements concerning Government shipment of his pri- vately owned automobile incident to an overseas transfer and whose travel orders initially authorized the Govern- ment shipment of his automobile upon a subsequent trans- fer from the overseas duty station be reimbursed the shipping cost of the automobile from the overseas duty station incident to the transfer?1/ The employee may not be reimbursed this cost since the Federal Travel Regulations 'authorize Government return shipment of an employee's automobile from an overseas station only if it was shipped to the overseas station at Government expense or was a replacement for a vehicle that was transported to the overseas station. The employee in this case did not ship an automobile to the overseas station incident to his initial transfer. 1/ The Finance and Accounting Officer of the Central Security Service, National Security Agency, Depart- ment of Defense, submitted this question as a request for an advance decision.
