Description

GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (GSA); ELIMINATING THE USE OF STANDARD FORM (SF) 1169, U. S. GOVERNMENT TRANSPORTATION REQUEST (GTR). This information applies to transportation service providers and to all Federal agencies. The Office of Governmentwide Policy, GSA, is responsible for the Federal Travel Regulation which, among other things, governs travel and transportation allowances for Federal civilian employees. As background, GSA published GSA Bulletin FPMR G-202 dated June 22, 1999, Eliminating the Use of Standard Form (SF) 1169, U. S. Government Transportation Request (GTR), in the Federal Register (64 FR 36018, July 2, 1999). The bulletin gave notification of the proposed elimination of SF 1169 with final GSA action anticipated early in the calendar year 2001. Collectively, Federal agencies have supported the concept of GTR elimination; however there may be some exceptions requiring its continued use in limited cases. GSA is asking Federal agencies to identify any circumstances that would require continued use of SF 1169. GSA is also exploring whether or not the standard form should be converted to an optional form. All interested parties are urged to participate by returning comments to GSA no later than February 28, 2001, for consideration in final decisions being made.

General Services Administration, 1800 F Street, NW., Room G-219, Washington, DC 20405; e-mail,jane.groat@gsa.gov, telephone, 202-501-4318.
