Senior Federal Travel Reporting Tool (SFTR)
What is the SFTR Reporting Tool?
The SFTR is an on-line reporting tool designed to assist agencies and departments in reporting their senior Federal travelers’ use of government aircraft for official business. This tool was designed in partnership with the Department of Energy’s, Idaho National Laboratories.
Who must use the SFTR Tool?
- All agencies where their senior Federal officials travel on government aircraft.
- Only users and reviewers chosen by their agencies and trained by GSA can access the SFTR Tool website.
Why report on Senior Federal Travelers use of Government-owned Aircraft?
Agency reporting on its senior Federal travelers ensures that government aircraft are used only in support of the Departments’ and Agencies’ missions and not as a substitute for commercial airline travel. A set of laws and regulations set as business rules define the circumstances under which a senior Federal official may travel on government aircraft.
What authorities establish and implement the SFTR?
The Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Circular A-126, “Improving the Management and Use of Government Aircraft” establishes the management and control of government aircraft and establishes the foundation for implementation through the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR). Travel on government aircraft can be located at 41 CFR 300-3; 301-10.260/266; 301-70.800/808, and 301-70.900/910.
