Actual Expense Reimbursement for Operating a Privately Owned Vehicle

A decision was requested regarding the validity of a proposed amendment to the Joint Travel Regulations which would authorize reimbursement for the actual expenses incurred for operating privately owned conveyances on temporary duty travel when the use of such conveyance is advantageous to the Government. No legal objection exists to the proposed amendment since reimbursement is to be limited to the cost of gasoline, oil, parking fees, tolls, and other similar actual expenses related to the travel performed.
