Federal Travel Regulation (FTR); Removal of the Meals and 
Incidental Expenses (M&IE) Deduction Table, Allocation of M&IE Rates To 
Be Used in Making Deductions From the M&IE Allowance, and the Glossary 
of Acronyms

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

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: GSA is amending the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR), to remove 
the meals and incidental expenses (M&IE) deduction table, Allocation of 
M&IE Rates To Be Used in Making Deductions From the M&IE Allowance, and 
the Glossary of Acronyms.

DATES: This rule is effective August 13, 2018 without further action, 
unless adverse comments are received by July 27, 2018. GSA will

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Public Participation

    GSA is publishing this direct final rule without a prior proposed 
rule as this is a noncontroversial action, and GSA anticipates no 
significant adverse comments. A significant adverse comment is defined 
as one where the comment explains why the rule would be inappropriate, 
including challenges to the rule's underlying premise or approach, or 
would be ineffective or unacceptable without a change. In determining 
whether a significant adverse comment is sufficient to terminate a 
direct final rulemaking, GSA will consider whether the comment raises 
an issue serious enough to warrant a substantive response in a notice-
and-comment process. GSA notes that comments that are frivolous, 
insubstantial, or outside the scope of the rule would not be considered 
adverse under this procedure. A comment recommending a rule change in 
addition to the rule would not be considered a significant adverse 
comment, unless the comment states why the rule would be ineffective 
without the additional change. In addition, if a significant adverse 
comment applies to part of a rule and that part can be severed from the 
remainder of the rule (e.g., where a rule deletes several unrelated 
regulations), GSA may adopt as final those parts of the rule that are 
not the subject of a significant adverse comment. For further 
information about commenting on this rule, please see the ADDRESSES 
section of this document.

B. Background

    As part of a comprehensive review of the FTR, GSA is removing the 
M&IE deduction table from appendix B to chapter 301, Allocation of M&IE 
Rates To Be Used in Making Deductions From the M&IE Allowance; and all 
of appendix D to chapter 301, Glossary of Acronyms. The table in 
appendix B is publicly available on the internet at https://www.gsa.gov/mie thus its

[[Page 30078]]

publication in the FTR is no longer necessary. In addition, GSA will 
amend FTR Sec.  301-11.18 to remove reference to the table in appendix 
B to chapter 301.
    With the exception of the Federal Emergency Management Agency 
(FEMA), the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) and Free on Board (FOB), 
the acronyms in appendix D to chapter 301 are either defined in the 
Glossary of Terms section at FTR Sec.  300-3.1, spelled out within the 
text of the regulations themselves, or are commonly known acronyms that 
can be found in sources outside the FTR, making appendix D duplicative. 
In accordance with this amendment the acronyms for FEMA, FHA and FOB 
are now spelled out within the text of the FTR where they appear. In 
addition, a website link has been updated in the section accompanying 
the FEMA acronym.

C. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563

    Executive Orders (E.O.s) 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). E.O. 
13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, 
of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. 
This final rule is not a significant regulatory action, and therefore, 
was not subject to review under Section 6(b) of E.O. 12866, Regulatory 
Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993.

D. Executive Order 13771

    This final rule is not an E.O. 13771 regulatory action because this 
rule is not significant under E.O. 12866.

E. Executive Order 13777

    This final rule was identified by GSA's Regulatory Reform Task 
Force as a rule that improves efficiency by reducing costs--in this 
case, printing fewer hardcopy pages of the FTR, but maintaining the 
same information online.

F. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This direct 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. This direct final 
rule is also exempt from the Administrative Procedure Act per 5 U.S.C. 
553(a)(2), because it applies to agency management or personnel.

G. 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 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.

H. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act

    This direct final rule is also exempt from Congressional review 
prescribed under 5 U.S.C. 801 since it relates solely to agency 
management and personnel.
