§ 301-50.1 Travel arrangement requirements.

Employees of an agency as defined in § 300-1.1 of this subtitle must arrange all TDY travel using the online booking tool offered by ETS, unless extenuating circumstances prevent such use, such as when attending a conference where the conference sponsor has negotiated with one or more lodging facilities to set aside a number of rooms for attendees, and employees must book directly with the facility to receive the negotiated rate. If an exception to ETS use is granted in accordance with this part, employees must use their agency's TMS. Employees of the Department of Defense, the legislative branch, or the Government of the District of Columbia must arrange travel in accordance with their agency's TMS.
