SUBJECT:

Decrease in Mileage Reimbursement Rate

The standard mileage reimbursement rate is used to reimburse travelers for
the use of their privately-owned automobiles on official university
business. The rate is currently 32.5 cents per mile. This rate will be
decreased to 31 cents per mile to conform to the Internal Revenue Service
mileage rate reduction announced in IRS Announcement 99-7.

The new rate will be effective for expenses incurred after March 31, 1999.

PPM 365-2, Means of Transportation, is being updated to reflect this change.

Questions on this change may be directed to the Travel Office either at
telephone extension 43734 or by e:mail Travel@UCSD.edu. For the complete
information on mileage, please visit the Travel Mileage Page:

The web site will reflect the new rate effective April 1, 1999.
