Federal Civilian Employee and Contractor Travel Expenses Act of 1986 - Title I: Travel Expenses of Federal Civilian Employees - Revises provisions regarding travel and subsistence expenses for Federal employees and consultants by replacing current per diem allowance rates to the extent feasible with rates to be established by locality.

Authorizes such transportation expenses to an employee who travels to a location for medical services or where the emergency situation exists.
Authorizes the Administrator of General Services to prescribe conditions under which an employee who serves in a law enforcement capacity and/or members of the employee's family may be provided a subsistence allowance and travel expenses when occupying temporary living accommodations because of a threat to life or property resulting from the employee's assigned duties.

Directs the Administrator to periodically, but at least every two years, submit to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget an analysis of information on agencies spending more than $5,000,000 annually on travel and transportation. Terminates such reporting requirement upon the submission of an analysis that includes FY 1991.
Declares that Postal Service employees transferred to an agency for permanent duty may be authorized travel expenses to the same extent as other transferred employees.
