Section 1315 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage as authorized under the National Flood Insurance Program, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.; unless an appropriate public body adopts adequate floodplain management measures with effective enforcement measures.

Federal Travel Regulation; Relocation Income Tax (RIT) Allowance 
Tax Tables--2005 Update

AGENCY: Office of Governmentwide Policy, (GSA).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal, State, and Puerto Rico tax tables for calculating 
the relocation income tax (RIT) allowance must be updated yearly to 
reflect changes in Federal, State, and Puerto Rico income tax brackets 
and rates. The Federal, State, and Puerto Rico tax tables contained in 
this rule are for calculating the 2005 RIT allowance to be paid to 
relocating Federal employees.

DATES: Effective Date: January 1, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The Regulatory Secretariat (VIR), Room 
4035, GS Building, Washington, DC 20405, (202) 208-7312, for 
information pertaining to status or publication schedules. For 
clarification of content, contact Ms. Sallie Sherertz, Office of 
Governmentwide Policy, Travel Management Policy Division, at (202) 219-
3455. Please cite FTR Amendment 2005-02, FTR case 2005-302.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    Section 5724b of title 5, United States Code, provides for 
reimbursement of substantially all Federal, State, and local income 
taxes incurred by a transferred Federal employee on taxable moving 
expense reimbursements. Policies and procedures for the calculation and 
payment of a RIT allowance are contained in FTR Part 302-17. The 
Federal, State, and Puerto Rico tax tables for calculating RIT 
allowance payments are updated yearly to reflect changes in Federal, 
State, and Puerto Rico income tax brackets and rates.
    This amendment provides the tax tables necessary to compute the 
relocation income tax (RIT) allowance for employees who are taxed in 
2004 on moving expense reimbursements.

B. Executive Order 12866

    This is not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not 
subject to review under section 6(b) of Executive Order 12866, 
Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993. This rule is 
not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This final rule is not required to be published in the Federal 
Register for notice and comment; therefore, the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., does not apply.

D. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the changes to 
the FTR do not impose recordkeeping or information collection 
requirements, or the collection of information from offerors, 
contractors, or members of the public that require the approval of the 
Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.

E. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act

    This final rule is also exempt from congressional review prescribed 
under 5 U.S.C. 801 since it relates solely to agency management and 
personnel.

(The above table headings established by IRS.)
\1\ Earned income amounts that fall between the income brackets shown in this table (e.g., $24,999.45,
  $49,999.75) should be rounded to the nearest dollar to determine the marginal tax rate to be used in
  calculating the RIT allowance.
\2\ If the earned income amount is less than the lowest income bracket shown in this table, the employing agency
  shall establish an appropriate marginal tax rate as provided in Sec.   302-17.8(e)(2)(ii).
\3\ This is an estimate. For earnings over $100,000, and for filing statuses other than those above, please
  consult actual tax tables. (See 2005 State Tax Handbook, CCH, Inc.)
\4\ This rate applies only to those individuals certifying that they will file under a single status within the
  States where they will pay income taxes.
\5\ The income tax rate for Rhode Island is 25 percent of Federal income tax liability for all employees. Rates
  shown as a percent of Federal income tax liability must be converted to a percent of income as provided in
  Sec.   302-17.8(e)(2)(iii).
