2. Update Chapters 4 and 10 to clarify types of some commercial vehicle allowable per below:

   Current:

   C4.5.1.1.1. The FMS purchaser may request LOAs funding DoD-provided training include the payment of Travel and Living Allowance (TLA), commercial rental passenger vehicle expenses when DoD transportation services are not available, and unanticipated expenses for commercial health care for international students receiving training under an LOA. See Section C10.7.5. regarding expenses allowed on LOAs for International Military Students (IMSs).

   C10.7.5.1. If transportation is required for the IMS to participate in training due to the unavailability of DoD arranged transportation at the training location, a line may be included on an FMS case to reimburse to the IMS any charges associated with obtaining commercial rental passenger vehicles (to include related expenses, such as liability insurance if required by the IA, as mutually agreed upon by the partner and the Implementing Agency (IA)). A rental passenger vehicle authorization for the IMS is solely based on unavailability of DoD arranged transportation and may not be justified by the FMS purchaser based on the rank of the IMS. Except for required commercial insurance, reimbursement of IMS rental expenses will be consistent with DoD Joint Travel Regulation guidelines. If multiple IMSs from the same purchaser are attending the same training course on the same schedule, the FMS purchaser should require their IMS to share use of rental passenger vehicles. Any IMS rental passenger vehicle drivers must be eligible to lawfully operate the rented vehicle in the United States. The IA is not responsible for ensuring the IMS is eligible to operate a passenger vehicle in the United States. If a rental vehicle is authorized due to the need for transportation at the training location, the ITO will be annotated to reflect that FMS case funds are authorized to reimburse the IMS for rental passenger vehicle expenses.

   C10.7.5.1.1. Fuel expense reimbursement is limited to that which is required to support training and obtaining meals in the vicinity of the training location. Fuel costs or any other increased costs associated with the IMS recreational use of an authorized rental vehicle will be at the IMS's personal expense.

   C10.7.5.1.2. If a rental car is authorized, the IA will require the IMS to obtain commercial insurance. Any IMS liability for damages to the rental vehicle, personal property, or personal injury resulting from the IMS use of the authorized rental vehicle is a matter to be resolved by the IMS and/or the FMS purchaser. Payments to resolve IMS liability may not be reimbursed by the FMS case.

   Revised:
