the Assistant Secretary for Management

and Chief Financial Officer. The

Director may redelegate this authority,

in writing, only to the Deputy Director.

b. To the extent that information is

protected from disclosure by statute or

Executive Order, data shall be submitted

by the Director, USSS, in accordance

with FTR 301–3.3(e)(4) (41 CFR 301–

3.3(e)(4)), as prescribed in paragraph

5.c. herein.

7. Other Premium-Class Travel

Accommodations. The Deputy Assistant

Secretary (Administration), Heads of

Bureaus, and the Inspector General are

delegated authority to approve

premium-class other than first-class

transportation accommodations when

such accommodations meet the criteria

in FTR 301–3.3 (41 CFR 301–3.3). This

authority may be redelegated, in

writing, only to the principal deputy,

with the exception of:

a. the USSS, who may redelegate to

the Assistant Special Agent in Charge

(ASAIC), Office of Administration; and

b. the U.S. Customs Service, who may

redelegate to the U.S. Customs Service

Assistant Commissioners, Offices of

Investigations and Internal Affairs for

covert investigative assignments only.

Use of premium-class other than firstclass accommodations shall be

approved only when use of such

accommodations is clearly consistent

with the criteria in the FTR; the

justification on the travel authorization

should address any additional costs

involved. Approval of business-class

accommodations by a non-Federal

source shall be in accordance with FTR

Chapter 304 (41 CFR part 304). Further,

in situations where the business-class

travel accommodations are provided by

a non-Federal source on a

reimbursement, rather than an in-kind

basis, the use of premium-class other

than first-class must be justified

independently and in accordance with

the criteria in FTR 301–3.3 (41 CFR

301–3.3). The use of premium-class

other than first-class airline

accommodations for ‘‘security purposes

or exceptional circumstances’’ as

permitted by FTR 301–3.3(d)(5)(iv) (41

CFR 301–3.3(d)(5)(iv)) shall be strictly

limited to those situations where their

use is essential to the successful

performance of the agency’s mission.
