Federal Travel Regulation; Relocation Allowances; OCONUS Travel
Document Number: E7-23861
Type: Rule
Date: 2007-12-11
Agency: General Services Administration, Agencies and Commissions
Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) Amendment 2007-03, FTR Case 2007-301 was published in the Federal Register on June 27, 2007 (72 FR 35187). That final rule changed the mileage reimbursement rate for using a personally owned vehicle (POV) for relocation to equal the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Standard Mileage Rate for moving purposes in the continental United States (CONUS). Subsequent information revealed that in changing to this rate, GSA inadvertently removed any ability to apply this rate to both foreign and non-foreign overseas (OCONUS) relocations. This final rule will allow for the new mileage reimbursement rate to be applied worldwide. It will also allow for the use of actual expense for OCONUS relocations if the agency chooses to do so. The FTR and any corresponding documents may be accessed at GSA's website at https://www.gsa.gov/ftr.
