Pub. L. 86-707, tit. III, pt. C, sec. 321

Sec. 321. The first section of the Administrative Expenses Act of 1946 (60 Stat. 806), as amended (5 U.S.C. 73b–1), is amended by adding thereto, immediately following the new subsection (e) added to such first section by section 301(c) of this Act, the following new subsection: “(f) Under such regulations as the President may prescribe, the privately owned motor vehicle of any employee (including any new appointee, in accordance with section 7 of this Act) assigned to a post of duty outside the continental United States on other than temporary duty orders may be transported to, from, and between the continental United States and such post of duty, or between posts of duty outside the continental United States, whenever it is determined by the head of the department concerned to be in the interest of the Government for such employee to have the use of a motor vehicle at his post of duty. Not more than one motor vehicle of any employee may be transported under authority of this subsection during any four-year period, except that, as a replacement for such motor vehicle, one additional motor vehicle of any employee may be so transported during such period upon approval, in advance, by the head of the department concerned and upon a determination, in advance, by such department head that such replacement is necessary for reasons beyond the control of the employee and is in the interest of the Government. After the expiration of a period of four years following the date of transportation under authority of this subsection of a privately owned motor vehicle of any employee who has remained in continuous service outside the continental United States during such period, the transportation of a replacement for such motor vehicle for such employee may be authorized, in accordance with this subsection, by the head of the department concerned. The head of each department may, in accordance with this subsection, authorize the transportation of privately owned motor vehicles of employees of such department, assigned to duty outside the continental United States, by commercial means if available at reasonable rates and under reasonable conditions or by Government means on a space-available basis. This subsection shall not apply to the Foreign Service of the United States under the Department of State and to the Central Intelligence Agency but shall not affect the authority contained in section 913 of the Foreign Service Act of 1946 (60 Stat. 1027; 22 U.S.C. 1138) or paragraph (4) of section 4 of the Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949 (63 Stat. 210, 72 Stat. 337; 50 U.S.C. 403e(a) (4)).”
