Recommendations

Recommendation
3

USAID's Chief, Travel and Transportation Division, revise Automated Directives System 522 to include an explicit list of documents that need to be uploaded into E2 with the travel request. At a minimum, that must include:
Completed, approved business-class travel certification forms.
Final flight itineraries when the traveler is requesting premium-class travel because of a disability and the 14-hour rule.
Documentation to show that the airline carrier did not have coach accommodations and that it is critical for them to travel at that time, when applicable.
Office of Civil Rights and Diversity documentation stating that premium travel was needed to reasonably accommodate the traveler, when applicable.
Documentation to show that business class was necessary for security reasons, when applicable.
