■ 22. Revise § 301–73.100 to read as 

follows: 

§ 301–73.100 Are agencies and their 

employees required to use the ETS? 

Yes, unless you have an exception to 

the use of the ETS (see § 301–50.4 of the 

chapter and §§ 301–73.102 and 301– 

73.104), agencies and employees must 

use the ETS for all temporary duty 

travel. The Department of Defense, the 

legislative branch, and the Government 

of the District of Columbia are not 

subject to this requirement. 

§ 301–73.101 [Removed and Reserved] 

■ 23. Remove and reserve § 301–73.101. 

■ 24. Revise § 301–73.102 to read as 

follows: 

§ 301–73.102 May we grant a traveler an 

exception from required use of TMS or 

ETS? 

(a) Yes, your agency head or their 

designee may grant an individual case 

by case exception to required use of 

your agency’s TMS or to required use of 

ETS, but only when travel meets one of 

the following conditions: 

(1) Such use would result in an 

unreasonable burden on mission 

accomplishment (e.g., emergency travel 

is involved and TMS or ETS is not 

accessible; the traveler is performing 

invitational travel; or the traveler has 

special needs or requires disability 

accommodations in accordance with 

part 301–13 of this chapter). 

(2) Such use would compromise a 

national security interest. 

(3) Such use might endanger the 

traveler’s life (e.g., the individual is 

traveling under the Federal witness 

protection program, or is a threatened 

law enforcement or investigative officer 

traveling under part 301–31 of this 

chapter). 

(4) Such use is prevented due to 

extenuating circumstances (see § 301– 

50.6 of this chapter). 

(b) Any exception granted must be 

consistent with any contractual terms 

applicable to your TMS or ETS, and 

must not cause a breach of contract 

terms. 

■ 25. Revise § 301–73.103 to read as 

follows: 

§ 301–73.103 What must we do when we 

approve an exception to the use of the 

ETS? 

The head of your agency or their 

designee must approve an exception to 

the use of the ETS under § 301–50.4 of 

this chapter or § 301–73.102 in writing 

or through electronic means. 

■ 26. Amend § 301–73.104 by— 

■ a. Removing from the section heading 

the words ‘‘E-Gov Travel Service’’ and 

adding in their place ‘‘ETS’’; and 

■ b. Revising paragraphs (a)(1), (2), and 

(4), (b), and (c). 

The revisions read as follows: 

§ 301–73.104 May further exceptions to the 

required use of the ETS be approved? 

(a) * * * 

(1) The agency has presented a 

business case analysis to the General 

Services Administration that proves that 

it has an alternative TMS to the ETS that 

is in the best interest of the Government 

and the taxpayer (i.e., the agency has 

evaluated the economic and service 

values offered by the ETS contractor(s) 

compared to those offered by the 

agency’s current or proposed TMS and 

has determined that the agency’s current 

or proposed TMS is a better value); 

(2) The agency has security, secrecy, 

or protection of information issues that 

cannot be mitigated through security 

provided by the ETS contractor(s); 

* * * * * 

(4) The agency has critical and unique 

technology or business requirements 

that cannot be accommodated by the 

ETS contractor(s) at all or at an 

acceptable and reasonable price (e.g., 

majority of travel is group-travel). 

(b) As a condition of receiving an 

exception, the agency must agree to 

conduct annual business case reviews of 

its TMS and must provide to the ETS 

Program Management Office (PMO) data 

elements required by the ETS PMO in 

a format prescribed by the ETS PMO. 

(c) Requests for exceptions should be 

addressed to the Administrator of 

General Services and sent to 

travelpolicy@gsa.gov with full 

justification and/or analysis addressing 

paragraphs (a)(1) through (4) of this 

section. 

■ 27. Revise § 301–73.105 to read as 

follows: 

§ 301–73.105 What are the consequences 

of an employee not using the ETS or TMS? 

If an employee does not use the ETS 

(or your agency’s designated TMS where 

an exception to ETS applies), the 

employee is responsible for any 

additional costs (see § 301–50.5 of this 

chapter) resulting from the failure to use 

the ETS or your TMS. In addition, you 

may take appropriate disciplinary 

actions. 

■ 28. Amend § 301–73.106 by— 

■ a. Designating the note to § 301– 

73.106 as note 1 to § 301–73.106; and 

■ b. Revising newly designated note 1 to 

§ 301–73.106. 

The revision reads as follows: 

§ 301–73.106 What are the basic services 

that should be covered by a TMS? 

* * * * * 

Note 1 to § 301–73.106: The ETS fulfills the 

basic services of a TMS.
