"Federal Travel Regulations Amended to Include Domestic Partners
Details: On March 3, 2011, in response to the President's memorandum of June 2, 2010, the GSA amended the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) to extend certain travel and relocation benefits to domestic partners of federal employees. The key changes were adding terms and definitions for Dependant, Domestic partner and Domestic partnership, and by revising the definition of Immediate family to include Domestic partner and children, dependant parents, and dependant brothers and sisters of the Domestic partner as named members of the employee’s household. This change is not applicable to house hunting trips and relocation taxes. The Agriculture Travel Regulation and the USDA Relocation Allowance Regulation conform to the FTR and are, therefore, effective immediately. USDA Office of the Chief Financial Officer will update the appropriate travel policies in the near future to reflect the changes. A complete copy of the rule can be found on the GSA website at http://www.gsa.gov/graphics/ogp/FTRAmend_2010-06_Order.pdf.
Yes, they really spelled dependent that way in the email
