<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Travel Coordinators,</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Internal Revenue Service has announced that the
private vehicle mileage reimbursement rate will be 50.0 cents per mile,
effective January 1, 2010. The State of Oregon follows the mileage reimbursement
rate set by the General Services Administration (GSA) for federal agencies. The
GSA is prohibited by law from exceeding the IRS rate and will also lower its
rate on January 1, 2010.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Therefore, OAM 40.10.00.PO Appendix A will be amended
to state "Effective 1/1/10, vehicle mileage is 50.0 cents per mile. The State
mileage rate mirrors the GSA federal rate and changes automatically when the
federal rate changes." Thus, for travel that occurs on or after January 1, 2010,
the reimbursement rate for private vehicle mileage will be 50.0<SPAN

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>This change affects all employees. HRSD Labor
Relations has notified the affected employees' union representatives (AEE, IAFF,
KFAFFA and SEIU) about the rate change and effective date. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>If HRSD receives any objections, the affected
agencies will receive direction from HRSD. </FONT></P></SPAN></DIV>
