- 41 CFR Chapter 302
- [Notice-MA-2025-02; Docket No. 2024-0002; Sequence No. 51]
AGENCY:
Office of Government-wide Policy (OGP), General Services Administration (GSA).
ACTION:
Notification of GSA Bulletin FTR 25-02.
SUMMARY:
GSA Bulletin FTR 25-02 informs Federal agencies that certain provisions of the FTR governing official relocation travel are temporarily waived for Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia locations impacted by Hurricane/Tropical Storm/Post-tropical Cyclone Helene, Hurricane Milton, or both. As a result of the storm damage caused by Hurricane/Tropical Storm/Post-tropical Cyclone Helene and Hurricane Milton, agencies should consider delaying all non-essential relocations to the affected areas for a period of at least 30 days because the ability to secure lodgings may have been compromised due to the storm. In addition, the statutory 120-day maximum for payment of temporary quarters subsistence expenses (TQSE) remains in effect. Due to the lasting effects of the storm damage to these affected areas, finding a permanent residence may be difficult, which might also affect household goods temporary storage time requirements, along with the completion of all aspects of relocation within one year of reporting to the new duty station.
DATES:
The waivers in the FTR Bulletin are retroactively effective for official relocation travel that is/was performed in designated areas on or after the respective incident period start dates for the declarations listed in the Bulletin, and will expire 180 days from the respective disaster declaration dates. The Bulletin will expire upon the expiration of the last 180 day period, unless extended or rescinded by OGP.
