   CHAPTER 304--PAYMENT FROM A NON-FEDERAL SOURCE FOR TRAVEL EXPENSES
 
PART 304-1--ACCEPTANCE OF PAYMENT FROM A NON-FEDERAL SOURCE FOR TRAVEL EXPENSES--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 304-1.4  Conditions for acceptance.

    (a) An agency may accept payment for employee and/or spousal travel 
from a non-Federal source when a general authorization to accept payment 
(rather than an item-by-item authorization) is issued in advance of the 
travel following a determination by the agency official designated in 
accordance with Sec. 304-1.3(c) that the payment is:
    (1) For travel relating to an employee's official duties (including 
attendance because the employee's presence at the meeting is necessary 
to permit participation in the meeting by another employee or because a 
spouse's presence at the meeting or similar function is in the interest 
of the agency) under an official travel authorization issued to the 
employee, and to an accompanying spouse when applicable;
    (2) For attendance at a meeting or similar function (as defined in 
Sec. 304-1.2(c)(3) relating to the official duties of the employee; and
    (3) From a non-Federal source that is not disqualified under 
Sec. 304-1.5 on conflict-of-interest grounds.
    (b) Payments may be accepted from multiple sources under paragraph 
(a) of this section.
    (c) If a meeting or similar function does not concern a subject of 
mutual interest to the employee's agency and the non-Federal source, 
acceptance of payment from the non-Federal source under paragraph (a) of 
this section is limited to payment in kind and to the types of services 
the non-Federal source generally provides; e.g., air passenger 
transportation services provided by a commercial airline.
