Justice Manual § 3-14.200

The Federal Property Management Regulations (FPMR) CFR Title 41, Chapter 101-20.104(1)(2)(3) states, “agencies should assign parking spaces in this order: severely handicapped, executive personnel working unusual hours, van/car pools, POV’s used for government business 12 days per month and which qualify for reimbursement travel.”

It is the general policy of the Executive Office for United States Attorneys to provide parking spaces for official government vehicles permanently assigned to the United States Attorneys’ offices (USAO). Parking for employee owned vehicles will be provided whenever possible consistent with the following criteria. These are ranked in priority order.

Official Government owned or leased vehicle(s)

Employees disabled under the Rehabilitation Act/Americans with Disabilities Act.

United States Attorney (USA).

USA (discretionary) space (The USA can use this space for any purpose related to official business, such as a temporary space for USAO visitors).

Paid Supervisory Assistant United States Attorneys only (Attorneys in AD Pay Plan 31-37).

Senior Litigative Counsel Attorneys

Administrative Officer

Operational space (USAs may request an “operational space” for each branch office. This space may be used for visitors, deliveries, etc. It may not be used on a permanent basis for employees otherwise not entitled to parking).

USAs may also request one parking space for each unstaffed office. Such requests will require a strong justification and must demonstrate frequent use.

The USA may assign temporarily unused parking spaces when a vacancy occurs among the AD 31-37 staff.

Parkers using a temporarily unused pass for more than 40 consecutive hours are liable for the taxable fringe benefit in the event that they park in a taxable parking space.

Parking requests for disabled employees must include a copy of the employee’s state-issued handicapped parking placard and DMV-issued handicapped identification card. The placard must be displayed in the employee’s vehicle at the time of use.

Disabled employee means an employee who has a severe, permanent impairment that for all practical purposes precludes the use of public transportation, or an employee who is unable to operate a car as a result of permanent impairment who is driven to work by another. (See 41 CFR § 102-71.20)

Please note that some parking benefits are taxable.
