Appendix A Rates
A-1 Standard Mileage Rates
A-1.1 Mileage Rates
[Revise A-1.1 to read as follows:]
A-1.2 Reimbursement for Postal Service Supervisors
[Revise the text of A-1.2 to read as follows:]
Postal Service supervisors (see 5-5.2.1.2) will be reimbursed at the rate of $6.00 per day or 58.5 cents per mile, whichever is greater, when a privately owned automobile is used. Do not use the eTravel system when claiming the $6.00 daily rate, because the excess of the daily rate over the actual mileage is taxable as compensation to the claimant. You should claim the $6.00 daily rate by submitting PS Form 1164-A, Claim for Reimbursement for Postal Supervisors, to the Scanning and Imaging Center.
Odometer readings are not required on the respective claim forms; the integrity of the claim is the responsibility of the traveler. However, should the approving official have reason to question the claim, the claimant must provide evidence that supports the claim of distance traveled.
