Federal Management Regulation 

(FMR); Motor Vehicle Management; 

Notice of GSA Bulletin FMR B–20 

AGENCY: Office of Governmentwide 

Policy, General Services Administration 

(GSA). 

ACTION: Notice of a bulletin. 

SUMMARY: This bulletin provides a 

deviation for executive agencies to 

purchase premium fuel for Government 

owned and leased vehicles when lower 

grade fuels are not available due to 

market shortages in Louisiana, 

Mississippi, Alabama, and Texas due to 

the flooding and damage from Hurricane 

Gustav. GSA Bulletin FMR B–20 may be 

found at www.gsa.gov/bulletin. 

DATES: The bulletin announced in this 

notice became effective on August 31, 

2008.

Services Administration, Office of 

Governmentwide Policy, Office of

Management, at (202) 501–1777. Please

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

The Federal Management Regulation 

(FMR), Subpart B, section 102–34.335 

(41 CFR 102–34.335), requires drivers to 

use the grade (octane rating) of fuel 

recommended by the motor vehicle 

manufacturer when fueling motor 

vehicles owned or leased by the 

Government. Present restrictions 

prohibit the use of premium grade fuel 

in motor vehicles owned or leased by 

the Government that will operate on a 

lower grade of fuel. 

As a result of the damage caused by 

Hurricane Gustav, executive agencies 

may encounter fuel shortages in the 

affected areas and may not be able to 

acquire lower grade fuel for their 

vehicles to complete their missions. The 

original intent of section 102–34.335 

was to reduce fuel costs and the 

unnecessary use of premium fuel in 

vehicles capable of being operated on 

lower grade fuel. This bulletin, B–20, 

provides a deviation for executive 

agencies to purchase premium fuel for 

Government owned and leased vehicles 

when lower grade fuels are not available 

due to market shortages in Louisiana, 

Mississippi, Alabama, and Texas due to 

the flooding and damage from Hurricane 

Gustav.

BILLING CODE 6820–14–S 

GENERAL SERVICES 

ADMINISTRATION 

Federal Travel Regulation (FTR); 

Notice of GSA Bulletin FTR 08–10 

AGENCY: Office of Governmentwide 

Policy, General Services Administration 

(GSA). 

ACTION: Notice of a bulletin. 

SUMMARY: This Bulletin informs 

agencies that certain provisions of the 

FTR governing the authorization of 

actual subsistence expenses for official 

travel (both TDY and relocation) are 

temporarily waived as a result of 

Hurricane Gustav, because it is expected 

that finding lodging facilities and/or 

adequate meals may be difficult, and 

distances involved may be great 

resulting in increased costs for per diem 

expenses. 

GSA Bulletin FTR 08–10 may be 

found at www.gsa.gov/bulletin. 

DATES: The bulletin announced in this 

notice became effective on August 31, 

2008. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

clarification of content, contact General 

Services Administration, Office of 

Governmentwide Policy, Office of 

Travel, Transportation and Asset 

Management, at (202) 501–1777. Please 

cite FTR Bulletin 08–10. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

As a result of the flooding and damage 

caused by Hurricane Gustav, agencies 

should consider delaying all nonessential TDY and relocation to the 

affected area for a period of 30 days. 

This is especially important with 

relocation travel because the 120-day 

maximum for TQSE cannot be extended 

due to statutory restrictions. Given the 

flooding and damage caused by the 

storm, we cannot effectively determine 

the extent to which the ability to secure 

lodgings will be compromised. In this 

case, each agency may determine 

whether this Bulletin applies to travel to 

areas which are impacted by Hurricane 

Gustav.

Regulation are located on the Internet at
