2019 Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) Mileage Reimbursement Rates;
2019 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 19-03,
Calendar Year (CY) 2019 Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) Mileage
Reimbursement Rates and Standard Mileage Rate for Moving Purposes
(Relocation Allowances).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: GSA is updating the mileage reimbursement rate for privately
owned vehicles (POV) as required by statute. This information will be
available in FTR Bulletin 19-03, which can be found on GSA's website at
www.gsa.gov/mileage.
DATES: Applicability date: This notice applies to travel and relocation
performed on or after January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.
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 19-03.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 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 2019 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 19-03 establishes and announces
the new CY 2019 POV mileage reimbursement rates for official temporary
duty and relocation travel ($0.58 per mile for
[[Page 66264]]
POAs, $0.20 per mile for POAs when a Government furnished automobile is
authorized, $1.26 per mile for privately owned airplanes, $0.55 per
mile for privately owned motorcycles, and $0.20 per mile for moving
purposes), pursuant to the process discussed above. 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.
GSA posts the POV mileage reimbursement rates, formerly published
in 41 CFR Chapter 301, solely on the internet at 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.
Dated: December 18, 2018.
