| | A member performingPCStravel is entitled to the travel time allowable to complete thePCSmove.� A member reassigned between activities at the samePDSis allowed no travel time.� IfPCSorders are amended, modified, canceled or revoked en route, travel time is allowed between the same points as were used to determine the member's entitlement to travel allowances.� In cases involving two afloat units or an afloat unit and a shore activity, the location of the unit(s) on the departure date or the planned location at the arrival date are used to determine entitlement to travel time.� The "arrival date" and "departure date" are the authorized days of arrival, reporting, detachment, departure, sign in or sign out as used by the Service concerned.� The maximum travel time that may be allowed under this paragraph is that which would have been allowed under subpar. B had travel been performed entirely byPOC.� In computing travel time, the miles from the home, office, or residence to the local common carrier terminal or vice versa, are disregarded. Except as prescribed in par.U5120-H, travel time is computed under subpars. B, C, D, E, F and G.� Travel time allowed may differ from the time allowed for per diem computation purposes. |

| | Generally, 1 day of travel time is allowed for each 350 miles of official distance of ordered travel.� If the excess is 51 miles or more after dividing the total number of miles by 350, one additional day of travel time is allowed.� When the total official distance is 400 miles or less, 1 day's travel time is allowed.� See par.U5160NOTE. |

|
| | Additional travel time may be authorized/approved when travel is delayed beyond that authorized in subpar. 1 for reasons beyond the member's control (such as, acts of God, restrictions by Government authorities, difficulties in obtaining fuel forPOCs, or other reasons satisfactory to the member's new commanding officer).� The amount of additional travel time authorized may be the actual period of delay or a shorter period as determined appropriate by the member's new commanding officer.� The explanation of the circumstances which necessitated the delay, together with the commanding officer's action, must be attached to the voucher. |

|
| | Travel time for travel by Government conveyance (except Government automobile) and/or common carriers obtained by Government-procured transportation is allowed for the actual time needed to travel over the direct route including necessary delays for the transportation mode used.� Travel time for travel by Government automobile is computed under subpar.

| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 
|
| | Step 5 --add the number of hours in Step 3 and the number in Step 4 and divide the result by 18 to determine the number of days of allowable travel time by common carrier rounding any fraction of a day to the next higher day; and� |

| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 
|
| | Step 6 --add the number of days in Step 2 to the days in Step 5 for the total number of authorized travel time days.� Example:� Official distance 1,500 miles; member traveled 800 byPOC, 600 by rail, and 900 by air. Travel time is allowed for 800 miles ofPOCtravel, 600 miles of rail travel, and only 100 miles for air travel.��� |

|
| | c.travel from a leave point to another location and return to the same leave point, (i.e., travel to leave point in Chicago, IL, subsequent travel to Kansas City, MO; St. Paul, MN, to Chicago, IL - total distance is disregarded). |
