carrying out the directives in Section 3 of Executive Order (E.O.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Agencies carrying out their various missions 
must do so in a fiscally responsible manner to protect the interests of 
taxpayers. The President issued Executive Order (E.O.) 13589, 
``Promoting Efficient Spending,'' on November 9, 2011, to achieve this 
goal by charging agencies with aggressively cutting waste and promoting 
efficient and effective spending in administrative areas that are 
necessary to conducting official business. In Section 3, the E.O. 
identified travel as one area of opportunity for cost savings, and 
provided in subsection 3(b) that agencies, agency components, and 
offices of inspectors general should designate a senior-level official 
to be responsible for developing and implementing policies and controls 
to ensure efficient spending for travel and conference-related 
activities.

    Dated: May 29, 2014.
Carolyn Austin-Diggs,
Acting Deputy Associate Administrator, Office of Asset and 
Transportation Management, Office of Government-wide Policy.
