Abstract: OMB Circular A-126, Subject: Improving the Management and Use of Government Aircraft (May 22, 1992), requires that government agencies that fly non-official passengers in a Space Available status charge them the “full coach fare” cost of their seat on the government aircraft. Circular A-126 defines “full coach fare” as “a coach fare available to the general public between the day that the travel was planned and the day that the travel occurred.” Id. ¶ 4f. To properly bill these passengers, ICE must set up accounts receivable in the Federal Financial Management System (FFMS). Accounts receivable must be based on legally valid debts. The Flight Manifest/Billing Agreement (FM/BA) form will collect the contact information needed to send bills to these passengers from FFMS, and will document their agreement to be billed for their seats on these flights. The ICE Flight Manifest Information/Agreement To Reimburse form is used to collect information from members of the public, contractors, Federal employees, or dependents who intend to board ICE-chartered aircraft for purposes of evacuation. The purposes of the data collected on this form are two-fold. First, ICE will verify the individual’s identity before he/she boards an ICE-chartered aircraft to assess the safety of the aircraft, its crew, other passengers, and the United States. Further, the data collected on the form is also used in the event of an emergency to help ensure timely notification of points of contact designated by the passenger. Second, the form will confirm the agreement of Space Available passengers to be billed for their travel, and establish the names, addresses, and Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) for billing and collection purposes. The ICE Senior Field Official(s) at the airfield of embarkation will collect pertinent data for flight manifest information from all persons wishing to fly on an ICE-chartered aircraft prior to their boarding of the aircraft. Only passengers flying in a Space Available status, that is, private persons not on official government travel orders, will be required to complete the relevant fields on the form stating the reason for Space Available travel and requesting their signature to document their agreement to be billed for their travel. In special emergency situations, the form may be completed in-flight. The ICE Senior Field Official(s) will then submit the completed forms and the flight manifest to the program office that chartered the flight and to the Emergency Management Unit via email, as soon as practicable upon completion of the flight.
