2018 Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) Mileage Reimbursement Rates;
2018 Standard Mileage Rate for Moving Purposes
AGENCY: Office of Government-wide Policy (OGP), General Services
Administration (GSA).
ACTION: Notice of Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) Bulletin 18-03,
Calendar Year (CY) 2018 Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) Mileage
Reimbursement Rates and Standard Mileage Rate for Moving Purposes
(Relocation Allowances).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: GSA is required by statute to set the mileage reimbursement
rate for privately owned automobiles (POA) as the single standard
mileage rate established by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In
addition, the IRS mileage rate for medical or moving purposes is used
to determine the POA rate when a Government-furnished automobile is
authorized. This notice of subject bulletin is the only notification to
agencies of revisions to the POV mileage rates for official travel, and
relocation, other than the changes posted on GSA's website.
DATES: Applicable: This notice is applicable on January 1, 2018.
Applicability: This notice applies to travel and relocation
performed on or after January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For clarification of content, please
contact Mr. Cy Greenidge, Office of Government-wide Policy, Office of
Asset and Transportation Management, at 202-219-2349, or by email at
[email protected]. Please cite Notice of FTR Bulletin 18-03.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: GSA posts the POV mileage reimbursement
rates, formerly published in 41 CFR Chapter 301, solely on the internet
at https://www.gsa.gov/mileage. Also, posted on this site is the
standard mileage rate for moving purposes. This process, implemented in
FTR Amendment 2010-07, 75 FR 72965 (November 29, 2010), FTR Amendment
2007-03, 72 FR 35187 (June 27, 2007), and FTR Amendment 2007-06, 72 FR
70234 (December 11, 2007), ensures more timely updates regarding
mileage reimbursement rates by GSA for Federal employees who are on
official travel or relocating. Notices published periodically in the
Federal Register, such as this one, and the changes posted on the GSA
website, now constitute the only notification to Federal agencies of
revisions to the POV mileage reimbursement rates and the standard
mileage reimbursement rate for moving purposes. This Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) rate also establishes the standard mileage rate for
moving purposes as it pertains to official relocation. Finally, GSA's
annual privately owned airplane and motorcycle mileage reimbursement
rate reviews have resulted in new CY 2018 rates. GSA conducts
independent airplane and motorcycle studies that evaluate various
factors, such as the cost of fuel, the depreciation of the original
vehicle costs, maintenance and insurance, and/or by applying consumer
price index data. FTR Bulletin 18-03 establishes and announces the new
CY 2018 POV mileage reimbursement rates for official temporary duty and
relocation travel ($0.545 per mile for POA's, $0.18 per mile for POA's
when a Government furnished automobile is authorized, $1.21 per mile
for privately owned airplanes, $0.515 per mile for privately owned
motorcycles, and $0.18 per mile for moving purposes), pursuant to the
process discussed above.
Authority: 5 U.S.C. 5707(b).
