Relocation Allowances—Waiver of
Certain Federal Travel Regulation
(FTR) Provisions for Renewal
Agreement Travel (RAT) During the
COVID–19 Pandemic
Office of Government-wide
Policy (OGP), General Services
Administration (GSA).
ACTION: Notice of GSA Bulletin FTR 21–
02.
AGENCY:
This FTR bulletin informs
agencies that certain FTR provisions
governing RAT are temporarily waived
as a result of impacts to travel from the
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID–19).
DATES: Applicability Date: This notice is
retroactively effective for employees
whose official RAT was delayed or
suspended after March 13, 2019 (one
year prior to the date of the national
emergency issued by the President
concerning COVID–19), and who have
not yet taken RAT.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
clarification of content, contact Mr.
Rodney (Rick) Miller, Senior Program
Analyst, Office of Government-wide
Policy, Office of Asset and
Transportation Management, at 202–
501–3822, or by email at travelpolicy@
gsa.gov. Please cite Notice of FTR
Bulletin 21–02.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: Federal agencies
authorize relocation entitlements to
those individuals listed at FTR § 302–
1.1. Such individuals must sign a
service agreement stating that the
individual agrees to serve for a
minimum time period after they have
relocated, and as prescribed in FTR
§ 302–2.14. Before successfully
completing the initial tour of duty, an
agency may offer RAT for an employee
to serve a new tour of duty at the same
or different OCONUS location, if the
employee agrees to the conditions under
FTR § 302–3.212.
As a result of COVID–19, employees
and their immediate family members
may be, or may have been, required to
delay taking RAT despite the
employee’s successful completion of
their initial tour of duty and
commitment to a second overseas tour
of duty. As a result of the delay,
employees might not have 12 months
remaining in their second tour of duty
upon their return from RAT as
prescribed at FTR §§ 302–2.14(d) and
302–3.505(d)). Accordingly, agencies
59311
may waive FTR §§ 302–2.14(d) and 302–
3.505(d), meaning that RAT travelers are
not required to have 12 months of
service remaining on their second
overseas tour of duty after taking RAT,
in order to be eligible for RAT. The
requirements at FTR §§ 302–3.223 and
302–3.224 remain in effect. This
bulletin can be viewed at https://
