Division of Commissioned Corps Officer Support Travel and Transportation Reminder: Travel and Transportation Information Center and Shipping Officers

Please be aware that the Commissioned Corps Management Information System (CCMIS) Web site (http://dcp.psc.gov) contains a Travel and Transportation Information Center located under the ‘Services’ tab. The Travel and Transportation Information Center contains important information concerning permanent change of station (PCS) and temporary duty (TDY) travel.

Officers should use the Travel and Transportation Information Center for initial basic questions related to their travel. It provides information such as basic travel allowances, links to official travel forms, Joint Federal Travel Regulations (which govern uniform service members’ travel), and a listing of shipping officers for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Operating Divisions/Staff Divisions (OPDIVs/STAFFDIVs) as well as non-HHS organizations to which Corps officers are detailed.

Shipping officer contact information is listed in the Travel and Transportation Information Center under the PCS section. Officers should take special note of the link to shipping officers when preparing for a PCS and intending to ship household goods (HHG). Each OPDIV/STAFF/non-HHS organization has an assigned shipping officer to coordinate the shipment of HHG. When officers receive PCS orders necessitating shipment of HHG, they must contact the gaining OPDIV/STAFFDIV/non-HHS organization shipping officer and submit form PHS-4013-1, “Application for Shipment of Household Goods,” (http://dcp.psc.gov – under ‘Services’ and ‘Official Forms’) with a copy of their orders. Important: Do not move your household goods until you receive orders.

Officers required to coordinate their move through Prudential Relocation may call Prudential Relocation’s shipping officer before they receive orders. Officers working with Prudential Relocation will still need official orders to ship household goods. Important: Do not move your household goods until you receive orders.
