Sec. 102-118.150  What are the major mandatory terms and conditions governing 
the use of passenger transportation documents?

    The mandatory terms and conditions governing the use of passenger 
transportation documents are:
    (a) Government travel must be via the lowest cost available, that 
meets travel requirements; e.g., Government contract, fare, through, 
excursion, or reduced one way or round trip fare. This should be done by 
entering the term ``lowest coach'' on the Government travel document if 
the specific fare basis is not known;
    (b) The U.S. Government is not responsible for charges exceeding 
those applicable to the type, class, or character authorized in 
transportation documents;
    (c) The U.S. Government contractor-issued charge card must be used 
to the maximum extent possible to procure passenger transportation 
tickets. GTRs must be used minimally;
    (d) Government passenger transportation documents must be in 
accordance with Federal Travel Regulation Chapters 300 and 301 (41 CFR 
chapters 300 and 301), and the ``U.S. Government Passenger 
Transportation--Handbook'';
    (e) Interest shall accrue from the voucher payment date on 
overcharges made hereunder and shall be paid at the same rate in effect 
on that date as published by the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to 
the Debt Collection Act of 1982;
    (f) The TSP must insert on the TD any known dates on which travel 
commenced;
    (g) The issuing official or traveler, by signature, certifies that 
the requested transportation is for official business;
    (h) The TSP must not honor any request containing erasures or 
alterations unless the TD contains the authentic, valid initials of the 
issuing official; and
    (i) Additional mandatory terms and conditions are in this part and 
the ``U. S. Government Passenger Transportation--Handbook.''
