GENERAL SERVICES

ADMINISTRATION

41 CFR Part 300–2 and Chapter 304

[FTR Amendment]

RIN 3090–AE19

Federal Travel Regulation; Payment of

Travel Expenses From a Non-Federal

Source

AGENCY: Office of Governmentwide

Policy, GSA.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: This proposed rule amends

the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) for

payment of travel expenses from a nonFederal source. This amendment is

written in plain language using a

question and answer format in

continuation of the General Services

Administration’s (GSA’s) efforts to make

the FTR easier to understand and to use.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before July 3, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be sent to: Mr. Michael E. Hopkins,

Regulatory Secretariat (MVR), Office of

Governmentwide Policy, General

Services Administration, 1800 F Street,

NW., Washington, DC 20405–0001. EMail: RIN.3090–AE19@gsa.gov

FOR FURTHER INFORMATON CONTACT: Jim

Harte, Travel Team Leader, Travel

Management Policy Division (MTT),

telephone (202) 501–0483.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

This proposed rule revises the

coverage published in the Federal

Register as Interim Rule 3 (56 FR 9878,

March 8, 1991) and Interim Rule 4 (57

FR 53283, November 9, 1992). This

proposed rule is written in the ‘‘plain

language’’ style of regulation writing as

a continuation of the General Services

Administration’s (GSA) effort to make

the FTR easier to understand and use.

Questions are in the first person, and

answers are in the second person. GSA

uses a ‘‘we’’ and ‘‘you’’ question when

referring to an agency, and an ‘‘I’’, and

‘‘you’’ question when referring to the

employee. However, the rules stated in

either section apply to both the

employee and agency. Another example

of GSA’s implementation of plain

language is the use of the term

‘‘meeting’’ throughout this part instead

of the phrase ‘‘meeting or similar

function.’’ This change is indicated in

the definition of ‘‘meeting or similar

function’’ and no substantive change is

intended by this change.

B. Proposed Changes

1. To permit after-the-fact agency

acceptance of payment from a nonFederal source for travel expenses to a

meeting under the following two

circumstances prescribed in section

304–3.13:

(a) When your agency has not

approved acceptance of any payments

from that non-Federal source prior to

the trip; and

(b) When your agency has approved

acceptance of payment for some but not

all travel expenses from a non-Federal

source prior to the trip. In this case,

your agency’s prior authorization of

acceptance of payment from the nonFederal source in question is deemed

authorization for you to accept, on

behalf of your agency, payment for

additional travel, subsistence, and

related expenses from the same nonFederal source, as long as the two

following conditions in section 304–

3.13(a) are met:

(i) That the expenses paid by the nonFederal source be comparable in value

to those offered or purchased by other

similarly situated attendees; and

(ii) That your agency has not

specifically declined to accept certain

payments from a non-Federal source for

your trip. If the conditions are not met,

you will be subject to the penalties

specified in section 304–3.17 (i.e., you

may be required to pay the U.S.

Treasury the amount of the payment

accepted without being eligible for

reimbursement from your agency).

2. The removal of the requirement

that a meeting or similar function be

sponsored or co-sponsored by a Federal

agency in order to fall within the scope

of this part.

C. Executive Order 12866

GSA has determined that this

proposed rule is not a significant

regulatory action for the purposes of

Executive Order 12866 of September 30,

1993.
