Federal Travel Regulation; Mandatory Use of the Travel Charge Card

الملخص

This document constitutes a deviation to the applicability date of the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) provisions pertaining to payment by the Government of expenses connected with official Government travel published in the Federal Register of January 19, 2000 (65 FR 3054). Due to the difficulties involved in implementing the requirements of Public Law 105-264, October 19, 1998, regarding the required use of the travel charge card, collection of amounts owed, and reimbursement of travel expenses, the Associate Administrator for the Office of Governmentwide Policy hereby grants a class deviation that delays the applicability date until May 1, 2000, for mandatory use of the travel charge card and payment of associated penalties and interest. This delay will allow agencies time to work out the details of implementation of the mandatory use of the travel charge card regulations.
