This section lets agencies provide free quarters, meals, and storage for one personally used vehicle to employees temporarily moved in support of a contingency operation. These benefits are additional to other benefits.
(a) For this section: (1) “Covered employee” means a person who (A) works for an Executive agency or military department, not including a Government-controlled corporation, and (B) is assigned on a temporary change of station supporting a contingency operation. (2) “Temporary change of station” means an assignment (A) from the official duty station to a temporary station and (B) for which section 5737 expenses are available. (3) “Contingency operation” has the meaning given in 10 U.S.C. § 1482a(c). This section does not define that referenced term.
(b) The agency head may provide free quarters and rations to a covered employee during the temporary assignment.
(c) The agency head may provide free storage, or reimburse storage costs, for a motor vehicle owned or leased by the covered employee or a dependent and used personally by the employee. This applies during the temporary assignment and to no more than one vehicle for a covered employee at any one time.
(d) Benefits under this section add to, and do not replace, other benefits for which the employee qualifies.
For purposes of this section—
the term “covered employee” means an individual who—
is an employee of an Executive agency or a military department, excluding a Government controlled corporation; and
is assigned on a temporary change of station in support of a contingency operation;
the term “temporary change of station”, as used with respect to an employee, means an assignment—
from the employee’s official duty station to a temporary duty station; and
for which such employee is eligible for expenses under section 5737; and
the term “contingency operation” has the meaning given such term by section 1482a(c) of title 10.
The head of an agency may provide quarters and rations, without charge, to any covered employee of such agency during the period of such employee’s temporary assignment (as described in subsection (a)(1)(B)).
The head of an agency may provide for the storage, without charge, or for the reimbursement of the cost of storage, of a motor vehicle that is owned or leased by a covered employee of such agency (or by a dependent of such an employee) and that is for the personal use of the covered employee. This subsection shall apply—
with respect to storage during the period of the employee’s temporary assignment (as described in subsection (a)(1)(B)); and
in the case of a covered employee, with respect to not more than one motor vehicle as of any given time.
Any benefits under this section shall be in addition to (and not in lieu of) any other benefits for which the covered employee is otherwise eligible.
