SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    This final rule amends the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) by:
    1. Updating and correcting agency and office titles and acronyms;
    2. Making several editorial and grammatical changes, and clarifying 
areas of existing policy where needed.
    3. Replacing the term ``eTravel Service'' with ``E-Gov Travel 
Service'' wherever it appears.
    4. Replacing ``Federal Premier Lodging Program'' and ``FPLP'' with 
``FedRooms'' wherever it appear.
    5. Replacing references to ``Military Traffic Management Command 
(MTMC)'' with ``Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC)'' 
wherever it appears.
    6. Replacing ``Travel Management System'' with ``Travel Management 
Service'' wherever it appears.
    7. Replacing ``General Accounting Office'' with ``Government 
Accountability Office'' wherever it appears.
    8. Replacing ``eTravel Program Management Office'' with ``E-Gov 
Travel Program Management Office'' wherever it appears.
    9. Adding to the category of miscellaneous expense reimbursements, 
under passport and/or visa fees, the reimbursement of fees incurred by 
a required physical examination for foreign travel.
    10. Removing the acronym ``GEBAT'' in Section 301-51.100 and 
Appendix D to Chapter 301.
    11. Adding changes to authority citations to be consistent with the 
codification of Title 40 of the United States Code.
    12. Adding a term and definition for ``Subsistence Allowance''.
    13. Clarifying that lodging taxes for United States locations are

    14. Amending helpful do's and don'ts for Government contractor-
issued travel cardholders.
    15. Amending Chapter 301-Appendices B and D, in accordance with the 
above changes.

B. Executive Order 12866

    This is not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not 
subject to review under Section 6(b) of Executive Order 12866, 
Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993. This rule is 
not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This final rule is not required to be published in the Federal 
Register for notice and comment therefore, the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., does not apply.

D. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the changes to 
the FTR do not impose recordkeeping or information collection 
requirements, or the collection of information from offerors, 
contractors, or members of the public that require the approval of the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.

E. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act

    This final rule is also exempt from congressional review prescribed 
under 5 U.S.C. 801 since it relates solely to agency management and 
personnel.
