Schnack, CJA Supervising Attorney RE: Procedures for Submitting Travel Request and Authorization As set forth in the Travel Guidelines for the CJA Attorneys and Experts approved by the Court on October 20, 1998, a written travel authorization is required prior to commencing inter-district and all overnight travel. The following are new procedures for submitting and processing the Travel Request and Authorization (“TA”). The traveler is to complete the TA and submit it to the Office of the CJA Supervising Attorney. If a Court Order has been issued authorizing the travel, a copy of the order should be included. Once authorized, the traveler will be notified by facsimile. The traveler is to then contact Omega World Travel (“Omega”) at 1-866-450-0401 to arrange the travel. Omega will provide an itinerary which the traveler must fax to the Office of the CJA Supervising Attorney. Within ten days of the conclusion of travel, a copy of the TA and passenger receipt must be returned to the Office of the CJA Supervising Attorney. A copy of the TA and the passenger receipt must also be submitted with the voucher billing for the associated time and expenses.
