§ 301-70.902 Special responsibilities for space available travel.

Except for travel authorized under 10 U.S.C. 2648, the agency must certify in writing before carrying passengers on a space available basis on the agency's Government aircraft that the aircraft is scheduled to perform a bona fide governmental function. Bona fide governmental functions may include support for official travel. The agency must also certify that carrying a passenger in space available does not cause the need for a larger aircraft and does not result in more than minor additional cost to the Government. The agency's aircraft management office must retain this certification for two years. In an emergency situation, prior verbal approval with an after-the-fact written certification is permitted.
