SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
[top] GSA is required by statute to set the mileage reimbursement rate for privately owned automobiles (POA) as the single standard mileage rate established by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In addition, the IRS mileage rate for medical or moving purposes is used to determine the POA rate when a Government-furnished automobile is authorized. This IRS rate also establishes the standard mileage rate for moving purposes as it pertains to official relocation. Finally, GSA's annual privately owned airplane and motorcycle mileage reimbursement rate reviews have resulted in new CY 2019 rates. GSA conducts independent airplane and motorcycle studies that evaluate various factors, such as the cost of fuel, the depreciation of the original vehicle costs, maintenance and insurance, and/or by applying consumer price index data. FTR Bulletin 19-03 establishes and announces the new CY 2019 POV mileage reimbursement rates for official temporary duty and relocation travel ($0.58 per mile for
GSA posts the POV mileage reimbursement rates, formerly published in 41 CFR Chapter 301, solely on the internet at www.gsa.gov/mileage. Also posted on this site is the standard mileage rate for moving purposes. This process, implemented in FTR Amendment 2010-07, 75 FR 72965 (November 29, 2010), FTR Amendment 2007-03, 72 FR 35187 (June 27, 2007), and FTR Amendment 2007-06, 72 FR 70234 (December 11, 2007), ensures more timely updates regarding mileage reimbursement rates by GSA for federal employees who are on official travel or relocating. Notices published periodically in the Federal Register , such as this one, and the changes posted on the GSA website, now constitute the only notification to federal agencies of revisions to the POV mileage reimbursement rates and the standard mileage reimbursement rate for moving purposes.
