This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Notice of Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) Bulletin 14-05, Calendar Year (CY) 2014 Rental Car (Passenger Vehicle) Requirements.
Federal agencies are committed to identifying potential savings in employee rental of passenger vehicles. This notice announces FTR Bulletin 14-05 which emphasizes the requirements for federal employee rental of passenger vehicles while on official government travel. FTR Bulletin 14-05 and all other FTR bulletins are located at gsa.gov/ftrbulletins.
This notice is effective February 12, 2014.

Ms. Marcerto Barr, Office of Government-wide Policy, Office of Asset and Transportation Management, at 202-208-7654, or by email at travelpolicy@gsa.gov. Please cite Notice of FTR Bulletin 14-05.
FTR Bulletin 14-05 encourages agencies to ensure their internal travel policies are consistent with the FTR requirements that all rental passenger vehicles must be authorized only when in the best interest of the Government (FTR 301-10.450(a)). Use of a rental car requires specific authorization (FTR 301-2.5(g)). FTR Bulletin 14-05 also ensures travelers are familiar with the Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO) U.S. Rental Car Agreement, which encourages travelers to rent vehicles from vendors that participate in the program. Refer to: ( http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/rental.cfm). FTR Bulletin 14-05 ensures travelers to book their passenger vehicle reservations through their agency's Electronic Travel System (ETS) where ( printed page 8458) available. When ETS is not available, travelers should arrange passenger vehicle rentals only through their agency's Travel Management Center (TMC). Use of an agency's ETS and TMC are the only two approved methods of booking passenger rental vehicles allowed by the FTR (FTR 301-50.3). Agencies should also educate their travelers to decline additional insurance, such as collision damage waiver (CDW) or theft insurance (FTR 301-10.451(a)). These types of insurance are personal expenses, so travelers generally may not be reimbursed for them.
