Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) Mileage Reimbursement Rates

The IRS recently announced its standard automobile mileage rate of 55.5 cents will not change effective January 1, 2012. Although the results of our internal evaluation indicate no change in the Federal privately owned automobile, airplane and motorcycle mileage rates beginning January 1, 2012, we will continue to monitor the fuel costs and will adjust these rates if warranted. Any adjustments will be posted in the Federal Register and on this web site. Note: IRS and GSA do NOT necessarily have the same rate.

* Airplane nautical miles (NMs) should be converted into statute miles (SMs) or regular miles when submitting a voucher using the formula (1 NM equals 1.15077945 SMs). You can also use the link to BoatSafe.com (a non-government website) to assist you in converting NMs to SMs or SMs to NMs.
