Can I still have a Blanket, Annual, Temporary Duty Limited Open Authorization in GovTrip?
This depends on your bureau/office policy. If your bureau/office allows Blanket, Annual, TDL Authorizations for field work, site visits, emergency travel and/or informational meetings; you would prepare the paper TDL authorization outside the system on Departmental Form DI-1020. The TDL signed paper authorization must be attached by fax or by upload to each GovTrip voucher and you would have to notify the local GovTrip System Administrator to designate the traveler as auto approve for authorizations. The only step the paper TDL saves is the electronic routing of the authorization to the approving official. An authorization still has to be created in GovTrip for each trip in order to create the voucher in GovTrip.
