2020 Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) Mileage Reimbursement Rates; 
2020 Standard Mileage Rate for Moving Purposes

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

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: GSA is updating the mileage reimbursement rate for privately 
owned automobiles (POA), airplanes, and motorcycles as required by 
statute. This information will be available in FTR Bulletin 20-03, 
which can be found on GSA's website at https://gsa.gov/ftrbulletins.

DATES: Applicability date: This notice applies to travel and relocation 
performed on or after January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For clarification of content, please 
contact Ms. Cheryl D. McClain-Barnes, Program Analyst, Office of 
Government-wide Policy, Office of Asset and Transportation Management, 
at 202-208-4334, or by email at travelpolicy@gsa.gov. Please cite 
Notice of FTR Bulletin 20-03.

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). The IRS mileage rate for medical or moving purposes is 
used to determine the POA rate when a Government-furnished automobile 
is authorized and also represents the privately owned vehicle (POV) 
standard mileage reimbursement rate for official relocation. Finally, 
GSA

conducts independent reviews of the cost of travel and the operation of 
privately owned airplanes and motorcycles on an annual basis to 
determine their corresponding mileage reimbursement rates. These 
reviews evaluate various factors, such as the cost of fuel, 
depreciation of the original vehicle cost, maintenance and insurance, 
state and Federal taxes, and consumer price index data. FTR Bulletin 
20-03 establishes and announces the new CY 2020 POV mileage 
reimbursement rates for official temporary duty and relocation travel. 
This notice 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 at https://gsa.gov/mileage.
