SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: GSA amended the FTR by introducing premium
economy airline accommodations as a class of service, creating
management controls related to the use thereof, and changing the
deadline for reporting the use of first class and business class
transportation accommodations. This rule, titled ``Common Carrier
Transportation,'' and published at 87 FR 55699, on September 12, 2022,
did not change the requirement for agencies to report the use of all
first class and business class transportation accommodations which
exceed the coach class fare, nor did it change the requirement for
agencies to report the use of extra-fare train service. However, since
publishing 87 FR 55699, Common Carrier Transportation, GSA has received
questions from agencies on how to determine the comparative cost of a
coach class train fare when the use of an extra-fare train is
authorized. In accordance with 41 CFR 300-70.101, FTR Bulletin 23-07
clarifies the information agencies are required to report on the
authorized use of first class and business class transportation
accommodations and how to determine the comparative coach class
accommodations. This bulletin also rescinds FTR Bulletin 20-05,
published at 85 FR 17890, on March 31, 2020.
