Baine III ,f eL Comptroller National Credit Union Administration Washington, D.C. 20456 Dear Mr. Baine: In a letter dated September 23, 1980, you requested in accordance with our circular letter, dated August 20, 1979, an exemption from our regulations contained in 4 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 52.3(a) (1980), which restricts use of travel agents to procure official Govern- ment travel. You submitted a proposal for the use of travel agents by the National Credit Union Administration Washington Office, designed to test whether that Office can achieve savings and efficiencies by using travel agents. Based on our review, we believe that your proposal complies generally with the requirements set forth in the circular letter and, therefore, an exemption from our regulations in 4 CFR 52.3(a) for 1 year is authorized so that you may test the use of travel agents. Enclosed is a copy of a letter dated November 7, 1980, from the General Services Administration (GSA) to our Office in response to our request for its comments on your plan. It has requested the opportunity to review the test of your plan as to the specific method of select- ing a travel agent, the evaluation criteria, and the proce- dure for payment of the transportation. Since GSA has audit responsibilities- for Government transportation and has assisted other agencies in developing procedures to test the use of travel agents consistent with GSA regu- lations concerning travel, we believe that you should consult with GSA regarding the matters referred to in GSA's letter. We also believe that you should advise interested travel agents either in the solicitation-or by other means that the airlines are prohibited from paying commissions to travel agents for Government air travel under an Air Traffic Conference Agreement Resolution filed with the Civil Aeronautics Board.
