§ 5705
Standard changes are made to conform with the defi-
nitions applicable and the style of this title as outlined
in the preface to the report.
Editorial Notes
AMENDMENTS
2014—Subsec. (a)(1). Pub. L. 113–291, in last sentence,
substituted ‘‘the rate per mile shall be the single stand-
ard mileage rate established by the Internal Revenue
Service’’ for ‘‘the rate per mile established by the Ad-
ministrator shall not exceed the single standard mile-
age rate established by the Internal Revenue Service’’.

of this title, an employee who is engaged on official
business for the Government is entitled to not in excess
of—
‘‘(1) 20 cents a mile for the use of a privately owned
motorcycle;
‘‘(2) 25 cents a mile for the use of a privately owned
automobile; or
‘‘(3) 45 cents a mile for the use of a privately owned
airplane;
instead of actual expenses of transportation when that
mode of transportation is authorized or approved as
more advantageous to the Government. A determina-
tion of such advantage is not required when payment
on a mileage basis is limited to the cost of travel by
common carrier including per diem. Notwithstanding
the preceding provisions of this subsection, in any case
in which an employee who is engaged on official busi-
ness for the Government chooses to use a privately
owned vehicle in lieu of a Government vehicle, pay-
ment on a mileage basis is limited to the cost of travel
by a Government vehicle.
‘‘(b) In addition to the mileage allowance authorized
under subsection (a) of this section, the employee may
be reimbursed for—
