Another DoD entity is funding travel for NPS Personnel, U.S. military students, and/or DoD Civilians

1. The traveler should inform the travel arranger and NPS analyst at the travel office of the upcoming travel to be paid by cross-org LOA from another DoD activity.
2. Once a cross-org LOA from another command arrives, the traveler must submit the documentation to the analyst in the Travel Office. The analyst will determine if the cross-org LOA has been sent via the DTS Cross-Org function. If funding command’s accounting system is not linked to DTS the travel orders will be processed as Hard Copy/ Manual Orders outside of DTS. Travel Claim will need to be submitted thru the funding agency’s finance office.*
3. Once the LOA is in DTS, the analyst will notify the traveler and travel administrator who should then create a standard travel authorization in DTS, using the fund cite LOA for funding.
4. If the traveler does not have a GOVCC, then they must contact the Agency Program Coordinator at travelcard@nps.edu to apply. All travelers must have a GOVCC to travel.

If a funding organization refuses to use the X-Org funding feature to make an LOA and/or a routing list route through the funding command for review/approval, follow the procedures below:

• If the funding organization is a Navy command/activity, the traveler’s command must contact their MAJCOM LDTA. The MAJCOM LDTA is to contact the Navy DTS PMO for assistance.
• If the funding organization is a non-Navy command/activity, the traveler’s command must attempt to request, in writing, the reason why the funding command will not apply their routing to review/approve their funding. The traveler’s command may continue to process and approve DTS trip documents, only if documentation is uploaded into the DTS trip record attesting to the request and the refusal of the non-Navy command unwilling to apply their routing list for review/approval of the travel document. This documentation should include dates, names and positions/roles and unit assignments of individuals of both the requestor and the approving authority from the non-Navy command.
