2019 Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) 

Mileage Reimbursement Rates; 2019 

Standard Mileage Rate for Moving 

Purposes 

AGENCY: Office of Government-wide 

Policy (OGP), General Services 

Administration (GSA). 

ACTION: Notice of Federal Travel 

Regulation (FTR) Bulletin 19–03, 

Calendar Year (CY) 2019 Privately 

Owned Vehicle (POV) Mileage 

Reimbursement Rates and Standard 

Mileage Rate for Moving Purposes 

(Relocation Allowances). 

SUMMARY: GSA is updating the mileage 

reimbursement rate for privately owned 

vehicles (POV) as required by statute. 

This information will be available in 

FTR Bulletin 19–03, which can be found 

on GSA’s website at www.gsa.gov/ 

mileage. 

DATES: Applicability date: This notice 

applies to travel and relocation 

performed on or after January 1, 2019 

through December 31, 2019. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

clarification of content, please contact 

Mr. Cy Greenidge, Office of 

Government-wide Policy, Office of 

Asset and Transportation Management, 

at 202–219–2349, or by email at 

travelpolicy@gsa.gov. Please cite Notice 

of FTR Bulletin 19–03. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: GSA is 

required by statute to set the mileage 

reimbursement rate for privately owned 

automobiles (POA) as the single 

standard mileage rate established by the 

Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In 

addition, the IRS mileage rate for 

medical or moving purposes is used to 

determine the POA rate when a 

Government-furnished automobile is 

authorized. This IRS rate also 

establishes the standard mileage rate for 

moving purposes as it pertains to 

official relocation. Finally, GSA’s 

annual privately owned airplane and 

motorcycle mileage reimbursement rate 

reviews have resulted in new CY 2019 

rates. GSA conducts independent 

airplane and motorcycle studies that 

evaluate various factors, such as the cost 

of fuel, the depreciation of the original 

vehicle costs, maintenance and 

insurance, and/or by applying consumer 

price index data. FTR Bulletin 19–03 

establishes and announces the new CY 

2019 POV mileage reimbursement rates 

for official temporary duty and 

relocation travel ($0.58 per mile for 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
66264 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 246 / Wednesday, December 26, 2018 / Notices 

POAs, $0.20 per mile for POAs when a 

Government furnished automobile is 

authorized, $1.26 per mile for privately 

owned airplanes, $0.55 per mile for 

privately owned motorcycles, and $0.20 

per mile for moving purposes), pursuant 

to the process discussed above. This 

notice of subject bulletin is the only 

notification to agencies of revisions to 

the POV mileage rates for official travel, 

and relocation, other than the changes 

posted on GSA’s website. 

GSA posts the POV mileage 

reimbursement rates, formerly 

published in 41 CFR Chapter 301, solely 

on the internet at www.gsa.gov/mileage. 

Also posted on this site is the standard 

mileage rate for moving purposes. This 

process, implemented in FTR 

Amendment 2010–07, 75 FR 72965 

(November 29, 2010), FTR Amendment 

2007–03, 72 FR 35187 (June 27, 2007), 

and FTR Amendment 2007–06, 72 FR 

70234 (December 11, 2007), ensures 

more timely updates regarding mileage 

reimbursement rates by GSA for federal 

employees who are on official travel or 

relocating. Notices published 

periodically in the Federal Register, 

such as this one, and the changes posted 

on the GSA website, now constitute the 

only notification to federal agencies of 

revisions to the POV mileage 

reimbursement rates and the standard 

mileage reimbursement rate for moving 

purposes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

A request for public comments was 

published in the Federal Register at 81 

FR 62434 on September 9, 2016, as part 

of a proposed rule under GSAR Case 

2015–G503. No comments were 

received on the information collection. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35) does apply because 

the final rule contains six clauses and 

provisions with information collection 

requirements. However, five of these 

clauses and provisions do not impose 

additional information collection 

requirements to the paperwork burden 

previously approved under existing 

OMB Control Numbers. Only one of the 

six involves information collection 

requirements that have not previously 

been approved by OMB. 

The new clause at GSAR 552.236–72 

Submittals involves an existing 

information collection requirement that 

has never been previously approved by 

OMB. The information collected is used 

by PBS to evaluate a contractor’s 

proposals, negotiate contract 

modifications, evaluate a contractor’s 

progress, and review payment requests 

during contract administration. The 

clause was previously GSAR 552.236– 

78 Shop Drawings, Coordination 

Drawings, and Schedules. The clause is 

simplified, including removing the 

requirement for a specific number of 

prints and copies of various submittals. 

This simplification will ease the 

compliance burden for the contractor 

during contract administration from the 

current state. 

Public reporting burden for GSAR 

552.236–72 Submittals is estimated to 

average 8 hours per response, including 

the time for reviewing instructions, 

searching existing data sources, 

gathering and maintaining the data 

needed, and completing and reviewing 

the collection of information. 

The annual reporting burden is 

estimated as follows: 

Respondents: 3,758. 

Responses per respondent: 1. 

Total annual responses: 3,758. 

Preparation hours per response: 8. 

Total response burden hours: 30,064. 

C. Public Comments 

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of 

information is necessary and whether it 

will have practical utility; whether our 

estimate of the public burden of this 

collection of information is accurate, 

and based on valid assumptions and 

methodology; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected.
