§ 301-1.1 Purpose.

The Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) in this subtitle serves two principal purposes.

Second, it communicates the resulting policies in a clear manner to executive agencies (see § 300-1.1 of this subtitle) and civilian employees of executive agencies, both of which are subject to this subtitle.
