Title 37, U.S.C., Section 427 only authorizes FSA for members serving in dependent- 

restricted  areas.  A member who elects to serve an unaccompanied tour in lieu of an accompanied 
tour at a permanent station where the member's dependents are permitted is not entitled to FSA 
unless waived by the Service Secretary.  The waiver authority is prospective only and is limited 
to situations in which it would be inequitable to deny the allowance to the member because of 
unusual family or operational circumstances.  These circumstances are defined in Department of 
Defense Finaiicial Management Regulation (DoDFMR), Volume 7A. paragraph 27030 1 E as: 
1)  when certified medical reasons involving family members or terrorist activity would make it 
inappropriate for dependents to accompany the member;  2)  when ships in overhaul make 
temporary homeport changes; or 3)  when married military couples with children are 
involuntarily separated by military  orders.
