SUMMARY: GSA is amending the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) by revising its policy on agency requirements for payment of expenses connected with the death of certain employees and family members. This final rule establishes policy and procedures for relocation of dependents and household goods of an employee whose death occurred while away from the official station on a mandatory mobility agreement in support of a contingency operation. This final rule also updates the FTR to allow transportation of an employee's remains to the place of interment or where the immediate family is going to reside, and shipment of a Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) from the Temporary Duty (TDY) station. Finally, this final rule reorganizes the policy to make it easier to understand.
DATES: Effective: This final rule is effective January 6, 2014.
Applicability date: This final rule as addressing FTR part 303-70, subparts A through F, H and I is applicable January 6, 2014. This final rule as addressing FTR, part 303-70, Subpart G, is applicable to travel relating to employees who died on or after January 28, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
-
Background
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 5707, the Administrator of General Services is authorized to prescribe necessary regulations to implement laws regarding Federal employees who travel in the performance of official business away from their official stations. Similarly, 5 U.S.C. 5738 mandates that the Administrator of General Services prescribe regulations relating to official relocation. In addition, Executive Order 11609, as amended, delegates to the Administrator of General Services the authority to issue regulations under 5 U.S.C. 5742(b) relating to the payment of expenses when an employee dies.
Also, the Presidential Memorandum, ``Delegation Under Section 2(a) of the Special Agent Samuel Hicks Families of Fallen Heroes Act,'' dated September 12, 2011, and published in the Federal Register (76 FR 57621), delegates to the Administrator of General Services the authority to issue regulations under Public Law 111-178, the Special Agent Samuel Hicks Families of Fallen Heroes Act, codified at 5 U.S.C. 5724d, relating to the payment of certain expenses when a covered employee dies as a result of injuries sustained in the performance of his or her official duties. The overall implementing authority is the FTR, codified in Title 41 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapters 300-304 (41 CFR Chapters 300-304).
This final rule incorporates language based on Public Law 110-181, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2008, Section 1103 and codified in 5 U.S.C. 5742, to allow agencies to provide for relocation of dependents and household effects of a employee whose death occurred while performing official duties outside the continental United States (OCONUS) or in transit thereto or therefrom, or for an employee whose death occurred while subject to a mandatory mobility agreement OCONUS and was supporting an overseas contingency operation or overseas emergency as declared by the President. This final rule allows the agency to relocate the dependents and household goods to the covered employee's former actual residence or such other place as is determined by the head of the agency concerned. The term ``contingency operation'' has the meaning given in 10 U.S.C. 101(a)(13), to include a military operation that:
(A) Is designated by the Secretary of Defense as an operation in which members of the armed forces are or may become involved in military actions, operations, or hostilities against an enemy of the United States or against an opposing military force; or
(B) results in the call or order to, or retention on, active duty of members of the uniformed services under section 688, 12301(a), 12302, 12304, 12304a, 12305, or 12406 of this title, chapter 15 of this title, or any other provision of law during a war or during a national emergency declared by the President or Congress.
Pursuant to this authority, this final rule amends and updates FTR part 303-70 regarding the authority to relocate dependents and household goods of an employee on a service agreement or mandatory mobility agreement who dies at or while in transit to or from an official station OCONUS. This final rule amends and updates the FTR to clarify no death-related expenses are authorized to relocate the immediate family to another location for an employee who dies while at the permanent official station except when the employee dies while performing duties under the provisions of Subparts F, G, and H of Chapter 303.
This final rule amends and updates the FTR to allow transportation of the remains to the place of interment and shipment of a POV from the TDY location or from an official station OCONUS when the agency previously determined that use of POV was in the best interest of the Government. This final rule also amends the household goods temporary storage timeframe in Subpart H, and allows the agency to authorize additional storage not to exceed a total of 150 days, which is the same as an employee with relocation entitlements. This final rule reorganizes FTR part 303-70 to make it easier to understand. Finally, this final rule amends the part heading by adding the words ``and family members''.

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives, and if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. This final rule has not been designated as a ``significant regulatory action'' and not economically significant, under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the rule has been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.
-
Regulatory Flexibility Act
This final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because the revisions are not considered substantive. This final rule is also exempt from Administrative Procedure Act per 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2), because it applies to agency management or personnel. However, this final rule is being published to provide transparency in the promulgation of Federal policies.
-
Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the changes to the FTR do not impose recordkeeping or information collection requirements, or the collection of information from
Page 73106
offerors, contractors, or members of the public that require the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.
-
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act
This final rule is also exempt from Congressional review prescribed under 5 U.S.C. 801, since it relates solely to agency management and personnel.
