Under such regulations as the President may prescribe, appropriations chargeable for the transportation of baggage and household goods and personal effects of employees of the Government, volunteers as defined by section 8142(a) of this title, and members of the uniformed services are available for the payment or reimbursement of general average contributions required. Appropriations are not available for the payment or reimbursement of general average contributions—
(1)required in connection with and applicable to quantities of baggage and household goods and personal effects in excess of quantities authorized by statute or regulation to be transported;
(2)when the individual concerned is allowed under statute or regulation a commutation instead of actual transportation expenses; or
(3)when the individual concerned selected the means of shipment.
(Pub. L. 89–554, Sept. 6, 1966, 80 Stat. 506; Pub. L. 105–264, § 6(11), Oct. 19, 1998, 112 Stat. 2356.)
The word “personal” is added before the word “effects” for clarity and to preserve consistency throughout this subchapter. The words “employees of the United States . . . and members of the uniformed services” are substituted for “military personnel and civilian employees of departments and agencies of the Federal Government”. The words “a volunteer as defined by section 8142(a) of this title” are based on sections 2504(a), 2505, and 2507
(a)of title 22. The words “pursuant to law” are omitted as unnecessary.
Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions applicable and the style of this title as outlined in the preface to the report.
