41 CFR § 302-9.2 - Transportation and emergency or temporary storage of a POV.

(a) When an agency authorizes transportation or emergency or temporary storage of a POV, it will pay for all necessary and customary expenses directly related to the transportation and/or storage of the POV, including readying the POV for storage, transportation to point of storage, storage, readying the POV for use after storage, transportation from the point of storage, crating and packing expenses, shipping charges, and port charges for readying the POV for shipment at the port of embarkation, and for use at the port of debarkation. Insurance on the POV is at the employee's expense, unless it is included in the expenses allowed by this paragraph (a).

(b) If an agency authorizes transportation of a POV to a post of duty and the employee completes their service agreement, the agency must pay for the cost of returning the POV.

(c) Only a passenger automobile, station wagon, light truck, or other similar vehicle that will be used primarily for personal transportation may be authorized to transport, and if necessary store under emergency or temporary circumstances. An employee may not transport or store a trailer, airplane, or any vehicle intended for commercial use.

(d) An employee is eligible for emergency storage of a POV transported to a post of duty at Government expense when the head of the agency determines that the post of duty is within a zone from which the employee's immediate family and/or household goods should be evacuated.

(e) When an employee receives notice to evacuate their immediate family and/or household goods from a post of duty, they may store their POV at a place determined to be reasonable by the agency whether the POV is already located at, or being transported to, the post of duty.

(f) An employee is eligible for temporary storage of a POV when they are assigned a TCS in support of a contingency operation (humanitarian operations, peacekeeping operations, and similar operations) as defined in 10 U.S.C. 1482a(c)(2) and are eligible for expenses as authorized in part 302-3, subpart E, of this chapter.

(g) The head of the agency determines it would be more advantageous, cost and other factors considered, to authorize the temporary storage of the POV.

(h) Employees may be authorized to store one POV at any given time during the period of the TCS assignment, subject to this subpart. A POV may be stored for the duration of the TCS.

(i) Agencies may provide for storage, without charge, or for the reimbursement of the cost of storage, of one POV that is owned or leased by an employee of that agency (or by an immediate family member of such employee) and that is for the personal use of the employee.
