# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    GSA amended the FTR by introducing premium economy airline accommodations as a class of service, creating management controls related to the use thereof, and changing the deadline for reporting the use of first class and business class transportation accommodations. This rule, titled “Common Carrier Transportation,” and published at 87 FR 55699, on September 12, 2022, did not change the requirement for agencies to report the use of all first class and business class transportation accommodations which exceed the coach class fare, nor did it change the requirement for agencies to report the use of extra-fare train service. However, since publishing 87 FR 55699, Common Carrier Transportation, GSA has received questions from agencies on how to determine the comparative cost of a coach class train fare when the use of an extra-fare train is authorized. In accordance with 41 CFR 300-70.101, FTR Bulletin 23-07 clarifies the information agencies are required to report on the authorized use of first class and business class transportation accommodations and how to determine the comparative coach class accommodations. This bulletin also rescinds FTR Bulletin 20-05, published at 85 FR 17890, on March 31, 2020.                          ( print page 58581)
