                            Subpart A_General
 
Sec. 304-3.11  Am I limited to the maximum subsistence allowances (per diem, 

actual expense, or conference lodging) prescribed in applicable travel 
regulations 
          for travel expenses paid by a non-Federal source?

    Generally yes. Subsistence expenses are usually limited to the 
maximum subsistence allowances (per diem, actual expenses or conference 
lodging) prescribed in Chapter 301 of this title for travel in CONUS, by 
the Secretary of Defense for travel in non-foreign areas and by the 
Secretary of State for travel in foreign areas. However, acceptance of 
payment for, and when applicable, reimbursement by an agency to an 
employee and the accompanying spouse of such employee are not subject to 
the maximum per diem or actual subsistence expense rates when traveling 
in CONUS or in non-foreign areas under the following conditions:
    (a) The non-Federal source pays the full amount of the subsistence 
expense, as authorized by your agency; and
    (b) The subsistence expense paid by the non-Federal source is 
comparable in value to that offered to or purchased by other meeting 
attendees; and
    (c) Your agency has approved acceptance of payment from the non-
Federal source prior to your travel; if your agency has not approved any 
acceptance from the non-Federal source, you may not exceed the maximum 
allowances. See Sec. 304-3.13.
    Note: The maximum subsistence allowances established by the 
Secretary of State for travel to foreign areas may not be exceeded.
