Dear M.o Rish:
This letter is in response to the publication by the
Genera l Services Administration oftroposed amendments to
tZh- Federal Travel Regulations7 (46 Fed. Reg. 17791, March 20,
1981). We have reviewed the proposed amendments- and we offer
the fo11cr-q comments.
Chapter 1
TEMPORARY DUTY TRAVEL ALLOWANCES
Local Transportation. The proposed regulations would
amend FTR para. l-2.3c by deleting the phrase '%when appro-
priate from the agency's discretion in limiting travel teim
bursement to and from carrier terminals if suitable -overnment,
common carrier, or airport limousine service is available.
In addition, the proposed regulations would add an additional
ground for lirmiting local travel, reimbursement to and from car-
rier terminals: Namely, the availability of courtesy transporta
tion service provided by hotels or motels. We have no objection
to this proposed change.
The proposed regulations would also amend FTR]J'para.
l-4.2c Lo provide that when an employee uses his privately
owned vehicle to transport other employees between residence
or uffice and commnn carrier terminals, the employee may be
reimbursed for his actual mileage at 22.5 cents per mile
without limiting him to the applicable taxicab fare. We
have nc objection to this proposed change.](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobabjil0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
