All,

With last week's approval of the AMS Group Travel package, all NWS
attendees are now free to make associated travel arrangements.  Travel
preparers should establish attendee travel authorizations in the E2
system.

Please read and follow the below guidance regarding registration fees:

1.  Because this year's AMS standard registration fee does NOT include a
meal (thanks to Central Region for noticing this), it is advised that the
fee be paid using the applicable Government Purchase Card from the
attendee's Office, Center, Division, or Branch.  This is consistent with
NOAA Travel Regulations Chapter 8: a.       *Registration fees for TDY
travel:*  i.  That *do not include travel expenses* (meals and/or lodging)
will be procured using the office purchase card.

2.  However, attendees who have already charged the registration fee to
their Government Travel Card need not make any changes.  No refunds should
be submitted to AMS in these cases.  The NOAA Travel Office has assured me
in writing that use of the employee's
Government Travel Card is also allowable.

3.  If an attendee selects any of the additional food related selections
from the AMS Registration Fee menu, then the fee MUST be paid using the
employee's Government Travel Card.

4.  If an attendee will not be in a TDY status (they would be local
travel), they MUST use the Office's Government Purchase Card.

Group Travel Coordinator, Angela Proctor, will also forward this guidance
to all NWS attendees on the group travel list.  Please contact Angela if
you have any additional questions or need clarification.

Thanks,
