Defense Transportation Regulation – Part IV
25 September 2017
Personal Property
CHAPTER 406
STORAGE
A. STORAGE-IN-TRANSIT (SIT)
1.
General.
Storage of all personal property must be in accordance with (IAW) the Joint Travel
Regulations (JTR), Chapter 5, Permanent Duty Travel. The procedures described in this chapter
apply to legacy Transportation Operational Personal Property Standard System (TOPS) and
current Defense Personal Property System (DPS) programs. SIT may be authorized by the
Personal Property Shipping Office (PPSO) under the Missions, Roles, & Responsibilities section
of this regulation. SIT may be used when it is necessary to meet the customer’s requirements.
Although SIT normally is used at the destination when a shipment arrives before the customer has
established a delivery address, it also may be used at the origin or at an intermediate point when
considered by the PPSO to be in the best interest of the customer and the Government. The
Transportation Service Provider (TSP) must use a DoD-approved warehouse.
2.
SIT Warehouse Approval and
Inspections. The Storage Management Office (SMO) is
responsible for the approval and inspection of all storage warehouses in the Continental United
States (CONUS), Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Canada. The PPSO in the overseas area is
responsible for accomplishing warehouse approval and inspections within their area of
responsibility (AOR). Both SMO and PPSO warehouse inspections and warehouse non-use
actions will be IAW Appendices D and E of this regulation.
3.
SIT
Period.
a. SIT for employees will be IAW JTR, Paragraph 5670, First 60/90 Days of SIT. If the
employee presents circumstances that warrant storage beyond the amount authorized, the
employee must request (in writing) a review/adjudication through the Service Agency
Civilian Personnel Office/Order Issuing Official. Requests for additional storage must be
presented well enough in advance of entitlement expirations to allow normal disposition of
property at the expiration of the entitlement.
b. SIT for members may not exceed 90 days unless additional storage is authorized IAW the
JTR, Paragraph 5242, Second 90 Days of SIT.
c. JTR 5250 Authorized Transportation. “Unless otherwise prohibited in the JTR, a member
whose HHG are in NTS is authorized SIT at any combination of: 1. Origin (place of NTS), 2.
Transit, or 3. Destination, in connection with (ICW) transportation from NTS.” PPSOs are
required to identify any number of days SIT is utilized at the origin and the remaining
number of days SIT is authorized at the destination on the Bill of Lading (BL). The PPSO
must refrain from entering “SIT is not authorized” on the BL for property released from Non-
Temporary Storage (NTS), in the event that SIT becomes necessary at the destination for
circumstances beyond the member’s control and/or to ensure the TSP can off-load property in
the event the member is not available to accept delivery.
DD Form 1857, Temporary Commercial Storage at Government Expense,
Figure
406-1, must
be used for each extended 90-day period. The PPSO may accept requests for storage
extension via DPS provided the PPSO receives all justifications in relation to the DD Form
1857. When SIT is extended, the PPSO/DPS must notify the TSP of the extension and the
new projected termination date. Extension, justification, and approval can be maintained in
DPS, electronic document storage, or hard copy.
