Federal Travel Regulation (FTR); Marking, Redacting, and 
Segregating Information When Reporting Travel Data

AGENCY: Office of Government-wide Policy (OGP), General Services 
Administration (GSA).

ACTION: Notice of GSA Bulletin FTR 23-02, marking, redacting, and 
segregating information when reporting travel data.

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

SUMMARY: GSA Bulletin FTR 23-02 clarifies the Freedom of Information 
Act (FOIA) requirement of Federal agencies to reasonably segregate 
(i.e., withhold) and release (i.e., disclose) only non-exempt 
information when reporting on the use of first class and business class 
transportation accommodations. Further, this bulletin advises that GSA 
posts first class and business class data reported to it to GSA's FOIA 
electronic reading room. Therefore, agencies along with their legal 
counsel must review their data for proper release determinations prior 
to reporting required data to GSA so as to ensure that protected 
information is not posted publicly.

DATES: Applicable: September 28, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For clarification of content, contact 
Mr. LaMan Dantzler, Office of Government-wide Policy, Office of Asset 
and Transportation Management, at [email protected]. Please cite 
Notice of GSA Bulletin FTR 23-02.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: FTR Sec. Sec.  300-70.100 through 103 
establish the requirements for agencies to report annually on the use 
of first class and business class transportation by Government 
travelers on official business. FTR Sec.  300-70.103 specifies that 
agencies are required to submit protected data in the aggregate (i.e., 
compiled). Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(2), GSA makes Government travel 
reports publicly available on its FOIA electronic reading room, which 
is accessible online at https://www.gsa.gov/reference/freedom-of-information-act-foia/electronic-reading-room.
