Federal Travel Regulation; Privately Owned Vehicles Mileage 
Reimbursement

AGENCY: Office of Policy, Planning and Evaluation, GSA.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This final rule increases the mileage reimbursement rates for 
use of a privately owned vehicle (POV) on official travel to reflect 
current costs of operation as determined in cost studies conducted by 
the General Services Administration (GSA). The governing regulation is 
revised to increase the mileage allowance for advantageous use of a 
privately owned automobile from 30 cents to 31 cents per mile and the 
cost of a privately owned motorcycle from 24.5 cents to 25 cents per 
mile, and decrease the cost of operating a privately owned airplane 
from 88.5 cents to 85 cents per mile.

DATES:  Effective date: This final rule is effective June 7, 1996.
    Applicability date: The privately owned vehicle (POV) mileage 
reimbursement rates apply for official travel performed on or after 
June 7, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Vella Cloyd, General Services 
Administration, Travel and Transportation Management Policy Division 
(MTT), Washington, DC 20405, telephone [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: GSA has determined that this rule is not a 
significant regulatory action for the purposes of Executive Order 12866 
of September 30, 1993. This final rule is not required to be published 
in the Federal Register for notice and comment. Therefore, the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act does not apply.
