  MATTER OF: Transportation of Privately Owned Vehicles


  DIGEST:
          Civilian employees of the Government
          who are separated from service at an
          overseas post may be allowed to have
          privately-owned vehicles which were
          transported to those posts at Government
          expense transported to an alternate
          destination not in the United States or
          the country in which the employee's
          actual residence is located. Such
          transportation is subject to the limita-
          tion that the cost may not exceed the
          constructive cost of having the vehicle
          shipped to the employee's place of
          actual residence when transferred to his
          last duty station overseas and may not
          be authorized if separation occurred
          before April 10, 1984, the date of the
          decision Thelma I. Grimes, 62 Comp.
          Gen.. 281.

     This action is in response to a request for a decision
regarding a proposed change in the Joint Travel Regulations
which would allow shipment of privately-owned vehicles at
Government expense in connection with the separation of
civilian employees stationed overseas to a location other
than to the country and location of the employee's actual
residence a the time of the assignment to duty outside the
United States.1/  Based on a recent change in our
decisions, we hold that civilian employees are now entitled
to transportation of privately-owned vehicles under these
circumstances. Such entitlement is not dependent upon a
change in the regulations.


1/ The request was made by the Honorable Delbert L.
   Spurlock, Jr., Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower
   and Reserve Affairs), in his capacity as Chairman,
   Department of Defense Per Diem, Travel and Transportation
   Allowance Committee.
