Federal Travel Regulation; Updating 

Glossary of Terms and E-Gov Travel 

Service Requirements 

AGENCY: Office of Government-wide 

Policy (OGP), General Services 

Administration (GSA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: GSA is issuing a final rule 

amending the Federal Travel Regulation 

(FTR) to remove outdated information 

on deployment of the original E-Gov 

Travel Service (ETS) contract as 

agencies prepare for the next generation 

of ETS, known as ETSNext, to provide 

updated policy, and make 

miscellaneous editorial corrections. 

DATES: Effective October 21, 2024. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Cheryl D. McClain-Barnes, Office of 

Government-wide Policy at 202–208–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In November 2003, GSA’s Federal 

Acquisition Service awarded master 

contracts for the first iteration of ETS, a 

web-based end-to-end travel 

management service. GSA published 

FTR Amendment 2003–07 (68 FR 

71026) in December 2003, to amend the 

FTR on the required use of the new 

travel service. The original ETS 

implementation policies included 

timelines with specific dates for 

agencies to deploy ETS and migrate to 

the new platform. This information 

regarding ETS implementation is no 

longer needed because all mandatory 

users have deployed ETS (either 

initially, or upon expiration of an 

exception to its use) since it became 

available to civilian agencies in the first 

quarter of 2004. 

Contracts awarded under ETS2, the 

second iteration of ETS, are set to expire 

in June 2027. GSA published a proposed 

rule (88 FR 89650) on December 28, 

2023, seeking to amend the FTR to 

remove outdated policy and provide 

updated policy as agencies prepare for 

the implementation of the next 

generation of ETS known as ‘‘E-Gov 

Travel Service, Next Generation’’ or 

‘‘ETSNext’’ for short. Accordingly, this 

rule finalizes the proposed changes to 

FTR parts 300–3, 301–11, 301–50, 301– 

52, 301–70, 301–71, and 301–73. GSA is 

also amending the FTR to make minor 

editorial changes for clarity. 

Specifically, GSA is relocating a 

definitional term at § 301–50.6, namely 

‘‘online self-service booking tool,’’ to 

part 300–3, ‘‘Glossary of Terms,’’ and 

updating the definition; renaming the 

term ‘‘Online booking tool (OBT);’’ and 

renumbering sections in part 301–50 in 

logical order. GSA is further updating 

the ‘‘Glossary of Terms’’ by capitalizing 

the initialism ‘‘ETS’’ in the body of the 

definition of ‘‘E-Gov Travel Service 

(ETS)’’ to be consistent with the 

definition heading. 

GSA is also removing and reserving 

§ 301–73.101 and relocating relevant 

language from note 1 of the section 

regarding agency funding responsibility 

for ETS to a note to § 301–73.2. Further, 

GSA is revising the note to § 301–73.106 

to remove duplicate text regarding travel 

agent services that align with present 

requirements for ETS2, but may not 

align with the terms of successor travel 

management service contract(s). Finally, 

GSA is adding a reference to the 

‘‘extenuating circumstances’’ exception 

to the use of ETS and Travel 

Management Service (TMS) to existing 

exceptions at §§ 301–50.4 and 301– 

73.102. 

II. Discussion of the Final Rule 

A. Summary of Significant Changes 

GSA has not made any significant 

changes to the regulatory language from 

the proposed to final rule. However, of 

note, the proposed rule duplicated some 

technical changes to an FTR final rule 

that took effect on April 16, 2024 (89 FR 

12250); GSA removed these duplicate 

technical changes from this final rule as 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
77026 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 183 / Friday, September 20, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

they are already in effect under the 

other rule. 

B. Analysis of Public Comments 

GSA received one comment to the 

proposed rule. The commenter wants 

GSA to retain the original ETS 

deployment date in the FTR for ease of 

reference. A major purpose of this 

amendment is to remove the 

deployment date for the original ETS 

contract because it is no longer relevant 

as all mandatory users have deployed 

ETS (either initially, or upon expiration 

of an exception to its use) since it 

became available to civilian agencies in 

the first quarter of 2004. GSA also notes 

that the commenter can access historical 

versions of the FTR on the web. 

Accordingly, GSA will not change the 

final rule based on this comment. 

C. Expected Cost Impact to the Public 

This rule will not result in an 

expected cost impact to the public. 

III. Executive Orders 12866, 13563, and 

14094 

Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 

(Regulatory Planning and Review) 

directs agencies to assess all costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distributive impacts, and 

equity). E.O. 13563 (Improving 

Regulation and Regulatory Review) 

emphasizes the importance of 

quantifying both costs and benefits, of 

reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, 

and of promoting flexibility. E.O. 14094 

(Modernizing Regulatory Review) 

amends section 3(f) of E.O. 12866 and 

supplements and reaffirms the 

principles, structures, and definitions 

governing contemporary regulatory 

review established in E.O. 12866 and 

E.O. 13563. The Office of Management 

and Budget’s Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) has 

determined that this rulemaking is not 

a significant regulatory action and, 

therefore, it was not reviewed under 

section 6(b) of E.O. 12866. 

IV. Congressional Review Act 

OIRA has determined that this rule is 

not a ‘‘major rule’’ under 5 U.S.C. 

804(2). Title II, Subtitle E of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 (codified at 5 

U.S.C. 801–808), also known as the 

Congressional Review Act or CRA, 

generally provides that before a rule 

may take effect, unless excepted, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report, which includes a 

copy of the rule, to each House of the 

Congress and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. This rule is 

excepted from CRA reporting 

requirements prescribed under 5 U.S.C. 

801 as it relates to agency management 

or personnel under 5 U.S.C. 804(3)(B). 

V. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

This final rule will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

within the meaning of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq. This 

final rule is also exempt from 

Administrative Procedure Act pursuant 

to 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2) because it applies 

to agency management or personnel. 

Therefore, an Initial Regulatory 

Flexibility Analysis was not performed. 

VI. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The Paperwork Reduction Act does 

not apply because the changes to the 

FTR do not impose recordkeeping or 

information collection requirements, or 

the collection of information from 

offerors, contractors, or members of the 

public that require the approval of the 

Office of Management and Budget under 

44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.

but only when your travel meets one of 

the following conditions: 

(a) Such use would result in an 

unreasonable burden on mission 

accomplishment (e.g., emergency travel 

is involved and TMS or ETS is not 

accessible; you are performing 

invitational travel; or you have special 

needs or require disability 

accommodations under part 301–13 of 

this chapter). 

(b) Such use would compromise a

unless extenuating circumstances 

prevent such use. Some extenuating 

circumstances for which you may not be 

able to use an OBT are: 

(a) When you are attending a 

conference where the conference 

sponsor has negotiated with one or more 

lodging facilities to set aside a specific

designee may grant an individual case 

by case exception to required use of 

your agency’s TMS or to required use of

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

has determined that the agency’s current 

or proposed TMS is a better value);

actions.
