2016 Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) Mileage Reimbursement Rates;
2016 Standard Mileage Rate for Moving Purposes
AGENCY: Office of Government-Wide Policy (OGP), General Services
Administration (GSA).
ACTION: Notice of FTR Bulletin 16-02, Calendar Year (CY) 2016 Privately
Owned Vehicle (POV) Mileage Reimbursement Rates and Standard Mileage
Rate for Moving Purposes (Relocation Allowances).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The General Services Administration (GSA) uses the single
standard mileage rate established by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
as the mileage rate for privately owned automobiles (POA). 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 2016 rates. GSA
conducts independent airplane and motorcycle studies that evaluate
various factors, such as the cost of fuel, the depreciation of the
original vehicles costs, maintenance and insurance, and/or by applying
consumer price index data. FTR Bulletin 16-02 establishes the new CY
2016 POV mileage reimbursement rates for official temporary duty and
relocation travel ($0.54 for POAs, $0.19 for POAs when a Government
furnished automobile is authorized, $1.17 for privately owned
airplanes, $0.51 for privately owned motorcycles, and $0.19 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 Web site.
DATES: Effective: December 29, 2015.
Applicability: This notice applies to travel and relocation
performed on or after January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.
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
travelpolicy@gsa.gov. Please cite Notice of FTR Bulletin 16-02.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Change in Standard Procedure
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 Web site, 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 23, 2015.

Deputy Associate Administrator, Office of Asset and Transportation
Management, Office of Government-wide Policy.
