A. Background
This amendment updates statutory
references concerning when travel on
Government aircraft is not reported;
adds additional guidance for
determining distance measurements
when traveling on official business by
privately owned aircraft; amends the
heading regarding POV mileage
reimbursement between an employee’s
residence, office and/or common carrier;
updates the addresses for submitting per
diem review requests; requires agencies
to use an electronic reporting tool to
report travel on Government aircraft by
senior Federal officials and non-Federal
travelers; and updates statutory
references in certain sections.
Accordingly, this final rule amends
the FTR by:
1. Sections 301–10.261, 301–10.264,
and 301–10.265—Updating statutory
references.
2. Section 301–10.302—Revising the
information to determine distance
measurements when traveling by
privately owned aircraft in conjunction
with official travel.
3. Section 301–10.306—Revising the
question portion to clarify what an
employee will be reimbursed if
authorized to use a POV between the
employee’s residence, office and/or
common carrier terminal.
4. Section 301–11.26—Updating the
chart with current address information.
5. Sections 301–70.801, 301–70.803,
301–70.804, and 301–70.902—Updating
statutory references.
6. Section 301–70.906—Updating the
requirement of agencies to report the
use of Government aircraft to carry
senior Federal officials and non-Federal
travelers by using an electronic
PO 00000
Frm 00038

reporting tool and updating a statutory
reference.
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
final rule is not a major rule under 5
U.S.C. 804.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
This final rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
within the meaning of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.,
because the revisions are not considered
substantive. This final rule is also
exempt from the Regulatory Flexibility
Act per 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2) because it
applies to agency management or
personnel. However, this final rule is
being published to provide transparency
in the promulgation of Federal policies.
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
(OMB) 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.
