When an employee has remained in continuous service outside the continental United States during the 4-year period after the date of transportation under subsection (b) of this section of his motor vehicle, the head of the agency concerned may authorize transportation under subsection (b) of this section of a replacement for that motor vehicle. **(e)** When the head of an agency authorizes transportation under subsection (b) or (c) of this section of a privately owned motor vehicle, the transportation may be by— (1) commercial means, if available at reasonable rates and under reasonable conditions; or (2) Government means on a space-available basis. **(f)** (1) This section, except subsection (a), does not apply to— (A) the Foreign Service of the United States; or (B) the Central Intelligence Agency. (2) This section, except subsection (a), does not affect [section 403e(4) of title 50](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title50-section403e/4&num=0&edition=prelim).11 See References in Text note below.
