Federal Travel Regulation (FTR); Relocation Allowances-Waiver of Certain Provisions of the FTR Chapter 302 for Official Relocation Travel to Locations in Mississippi, Louisiana, New York, and New Jersey Impacted by Hurricane Ida
GSA Bulletin FTR 22-02 informs Federal agencies that certain provisions of the FTR governing official relocation travel are temporarily waived for Mississippi, Louisiana, New York, and New Jersey locations impacted by Hurricane Ida. As a result of the storm damage caused by Hurricane Ida, agencies should consider delaying all non- essential relocations to the affected areas given the statutory 120-day maximum for Temporary Quarters Subsistence Expenses (TQSE). Due to the lasting effects of the storm damage to these affected areas, finding lodging facilities and/or adequate meals may be difficult, and distance involved may be great, resulting in increased cost for relocation per diem expenses.
Federal Travel Regulation; Rental Car Policy Updates and Clarifications
This proposed rule would clarify that agencies can reimburse rental car fees (up to a certain number of days) for Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS) relocations as a miscellaneous expense allowance to account for privately owned vehicle (POV) shipping delays at the employee's new official station. The proposed rule also updates rental car insurance policy to state that the Government will pay for both collision damage waiver(s) and theft insurance on rental car used OCONUS and also clarifies that rental cars may be used for the same purposes as a Government vehicle (other than a Government aircraft). Finally, the proposed rule substitutes the terms ``gas'' and ``gasoline'' with the term ``fuel'' where appropriate. The term ``fuel'' is broader as it still includes gasoline as a fuel source and also encompasses alternate vehicle energy sources, like electricity. A definition of the term ``Fuel'' is added to the FTR.
