Sec. 302-9.3  Storage during school recess for Department of Defense overseas teachers.

    (a) Description. The Department of Defense Overseas Teachers Pay and 
Personnel Practices Act (20 U.S.C. 905) provides authority for the 
storage of the household goods of Department of Defense overseas 
teachers during the recess period between 2 consecutive school years.
    (b) Regulations. Storage of household goods of Department of Defense 
overseas teachers may be allowed at Government expense under regulations 
prescribed by the Secretary of Defense in accordance with this part.
    (c) Authorization and conditions--(1) Authorization. Storage during 
the school recess should be authorized prior to the close of the school 
year. However, storage may be approved at a later date if all the 
required terms and conditions have been fulfilled.
    (2) Agreement. To be eligible for recess storage, a teacher serving 
at the close of a school year must agree in writing to serve as a 
teacher for the next school year.
    (3) Forfeited entitlements. The storage shall be instead of quarters 
or quarters allowance authorized by 20 U.S.C. 905 and any other storage 
of household goods to which the teacher might be entitled through 
employment in another position during any recess period between 2 school 
years.
    (d) Allowable storage--(1) Place of storage. The property may be 
stored either in available Government-owned space or in suitable 
commercial or privately owned space if Government-owned space is not 
available or if commercial or privately owned space obtained by the 
Government is more economical or suitable because of location, 
difference of transportation costs, or other reasons.
    (2) Allowable costs. Allowable costs for storing the property 
include the cost of necessary packing, crating, unpacking, uncrating, 
transportation to and from place of storage, charges while in storage, 
and other necessary charges directly relating to the storage.
    (3) Weight limitations. The weight of the household goods stored 
during the recess period shall not exceed the weight authorized for the 
employee less the weight of household goods stored under Sec. 302-9.2.
    (e) Time limitation. The period of storage shall not exceed the 
period of the recess between the 2 school years.
    (f) Breach of agreement. If the teacher does not report for service 
at the beginning of the next school year, except for reasons beyond his/
her control and acceptable to the Department of Defense, he/she shall be 
obligated to reimburse

the Department in the amount paid by the Department for the commercial 
storage, including related services. If, however, the property was 
stored in a Government facility, the teacher shall pay the agency an 
amount equal to the reasonable value of the storage furnished, including 
related services.
