[Ncep.list.grouptravel] Update: Mandatory Travel Training on Basic Travel, Approving Official’s Responsibilities, and Fly America Act, which includes the Open Skies Agreement (OSA)

[Genene Fisher - NOAA Federal]

Just wanted to emphasize that this mandatory travel training for all
travelers, travel arrangers, and travel approvers must be completed by Dec
31, 2019. I just took the courses and can confirm that they are new and not
the same as the E2 training.
