Sec. 301-74.6  What can we do if we cannot find an appropriate conference 
facility at the chosen locality per diem rate?

    While it is always desirable to obtain lodging facilities within the 
established lodging portion of the per diem rate for the chosen 
locality, it may not always be possible. In negotiating lodging rates 
with the properties in the chosen location, you may exceed the 
established lodging portion of the per diem rate by up to 25 percent 
under Sec. Sec. 301-74.8 and 301-74.9, if necessary. This will provide 
flexibility in selecting an appropriate property at the most 
advantageous location. It will also permit agencies to reimburse their 
employees' subsistence expenses by using the conference lodging 
allowance method as prescribed in Sec. 301-74.8 for a Government 
sponsored conference and

in Sec. 301-74.9 for non-Government sponsored conferences, rather than 
the actual expense method prescribed in subpart D of part 301-11 of this 
chapter.
