2. ISSUE 212501: Temporary Lodging Expense Extension to 60 Days Maximum Request 
Process.  Per Ref a, PDTATAC Chair has approved an expedited process for 
documenting and approving Temporary Lodging Expense payments up to a maximum of 
60 days in Military Housing Areas (MHAs) experiencing a critical housing shortage.
This change is effective August 25, 2021.  These changes are scheduled to appear 
in the Joint Travel Regulation (JTR), paragraph 050601, dated September 1, 2021.  

3. ISSUE 212502.  Required Action for Approval.  The extension of TLE entitlement 
is not automatic.  MHA locations experiencing a housing shortage that is resulting 
in longer stays in temporary lodging should request to be added to JTR, table 5-14.  
This must be completed and approved prior to routing any traveler requests for TLE 
greater than 10 days.  The approval process and the required form are listed on 
the Defense Travel  Management Office (DTMO) website.  The following web links 
are provided to assist MHAs with the request and approval process:

4.  Individual TLE requests will not be considered, Sailors must work with their 
respective MHAs if they are experiencing a housing shortage.  TLE extension requests 
are intended for areas where members cannot obtain housing, not just because an area 
is experiencing higher housing costs.  Installation Commanding Officers and MHAs 
should consider the availability to obtain housing prior to endorsing TLE extension 
requests.  MHAs experiencing housing shortages must send the requests to 
NXAG_N130C@navy.mil with proper endorsements from the Base CO or Installation Commander.
