NAVFAC P-300 Management of Transportation Equipment

1.11 Intra-Service Support Agreements. Navy policy, in accordance with
OPNAVINST 11000.16, is to combine full transportation support services in a
geographic area under one main PWC/PWD wherever feasible. Intra-Service Support
Agreements or Memorandums of Agreement provide in detail the arrangements made
between the host and tenant. Where an activity has an authorized inventory objective,
and desires to receive support from the major geographical Public Works Center
(PWC) or Public Works Department (PWD), the host activity should request assistance
from its TEMC to coordinate the transfer. The TEMC shall obtain the concurrence of all
concerned parties, and establish a time frame for the transfer based on
budgeting/programming requirements for both activities. The TEMC may establish a
recommended list (commonly called a Unit Authorized List or UAL), showing the most
economical and efficient equipment items a tenant activity should obtain on “B”
assignment from the PWC/PWD.
1.12 Official Use. The use of all Navy-owned and controlled motor vehicles shall be
restricted to official purposes only. The term "official purposes" means that travel must
be performed by a person in their official capacity. This precludes the use of
Government vehicles for personal use. The purpose of the trip must be related to the
performance of official duties or in connection with activities conducted under official
authorization.
1.12.1 Legislative Constraint. In accordance with Section 1344 of Title 31, U.S.
Code, "official purposes" shall not include transporting officers or employees of the
Government between their residences and places of duty/employment. The same
statute exempts from this limitation any motor vehicle for the official use of the
President, the heads of executive departments enumerated in Section 101 of Title 5,
U.S. Code or principal diplomatic and consular officials.
a. Exemptions
(1) Officials listed in Appendix A of the DoD 4500.36-R are specifically
authorized by law to receive transportation between residence and place of
employment.
(2) Field Work. Home-to-work (H-T-W) transportation may be authorized
for those employees performing field work when approved, in writing, by SECNAV
(nondelegable). Field work is official work performed by an employee whose job
requires attendance at several locations that are at a significant distance from the
person's place of employment. Some examples of field work are recruiters, auditors,
and medical officers on out-patient service. The assignment of an individual to a
position that is determined to be field work does not, of itself, entitle that individual to
receive daily home-to-work transportation. When authorized, such transportation
should be provided only on days when the individual actually performs field work, and
then only to the extent that such transportation will substantially increase the efficiency
and economy of the Government. Individuals are considered "in field work" when they
do not report regularly to the same post before proceeding to perform their official
