# §302-3.204. Eligibility to receive an allowance for round trip tour renewal travel from Alaska or Hawaii.

- (b) The agency head determines that authorization is necessary for the purpose of recruiting or retaining an employee for service of a tour of duty at a post of duty in Alaska or Hawaii.

# §302-3.205. Limitation on how many times employees may receive reimbursement for tour renewal travel.

- (a) For employees performing a tour of duty in a foreign area or employees performing a tour of duty in Alaska or Hawaii who meet the criteria of [§ 302-3.204(a)](/cfr/41/302-3.204.md?p=a), the agency may reimburse for one overseas tour renewal trip prior to the employee commencing another overseas assignment under the same conditions, for each time the employee satisfactorily completes the required period of a service agreement.
- (b) For employees performing a tour of duty in Alaska or Hawaii who meet the criteria of [§ 302-3.204(b)](/cfr/41/302-3.204.md?p=b), the agency may reimburse a maximum of two round trips which must begin within 5 years after the date of the first tour. Employees shall be advised in writing of this limitation.

# §302-3.206. Travel to another U.S. location (other than to place of actual residence) under a tour renewal agreement.


The employee and their immediate family may travel to another U.S. location (other than to their place of actual residence) under a tour renewal agreement. However, the agency will only reimburse for the amount of authorized expenses from the post of duty to the place of actual residence and return (as appropriate) on a usually traveled route. The employee is not required to spend time at their place of actual residence to receive reimbursement; however, a substantial amount of time must be spent in the U.S. if the place of actual residence is located there.


# §302-3.207. Travel to another overseas location (instead of the U.S.).


If travel is to another overseas location (instead of the U.S.), the employee will be reimbursed only if their actual residence is within that country in which they are taking their leave, and then they will only be reimbursed for their authorized travel and transportation expenses.


# §302-3.208. Violation of the new service agreement under a tour renewal assignment.


If an employee fails to complete their period of service under the new service agreement for reasons that are not acceptable to the agency, the employee must pay the Government:

- (a) All transportation and subsistence expenses that were received during the service agreement period for tour renewal travel of the employee and their immediate family;
- (b) Transportation expenses for family members who traveled directly from the former post of duty to the current post of duty; and
- (c) All transportation expenses for shipment of household goods from the former post to the current post of duty.

# §302-3.209. Effect on return travel and transportation to place of actual residence for violating the new service agreement.


If the employee violates the new service agreement, the Government will reimburse the employee for return travel and transportation to the employee's place of actual residence only if the employee did not receive all of their allowances under a previous service agreement in which they successfully completed their required period of service. The Government will then authorize the reimbursement cost for return travel and transportation expenses from the former post of duty to the place of actual residence.
