Federal Travel Regulation; Travel of an Employee with Special Needs-Services of Attendants

Краткое содержание

The General Services Administration (GSA) is amending the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR), to clarify existing authority under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C. 701-796l, and 5 U.S.C. 3102, that allows agencies to reimburse employees with special needs for expenses incurred for the services of an attendant while on official travel. Specifically, this final rule amends the FTR by adding reimbursement for "services of an attendant traveling with an employee with special needs" as a miscellaneous expense item. The FTR and any corresponding documents may be accessed at GSA's website at http:// www.gsa.gov/ftr.
