                            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.
