           TITLE 41--PUBLIC CONTRACTS AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

 

    CHAPTER 304--PAYMENT OF TRAVEL EXPENSES FROM A NON-FEDERAL SOURCE

 

PART 304-5_AGENCY RESPONSIBILITIES--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  304-5.4  May we authorize an employee to exceed the maximum 



subsistence allowances (per diem, actual expense, or conference lodging) 

prescribed in applicable travel regulations where we have authorized 

acceptance of payment from a non-Federal source for such allowances?



    (a) Generally, yes. Subsistence allowances are usually limited to 

the maximum subsistence allowances (per diem, actual expense, 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, the 

maximum subsistence allowances established by this title and by the 

Secretary of Defense may be exceeded as long as--

    (1) The non-Federal source pays the full amount of the subsistence 

expenses, at issue; and

    (2) The subsistence expense paid by the non-Federal source is 

comparable in value to that offered to or purchased by meeting 

attendees.

    (b) The maximum subsistence allowances prescribed by the Secretary 

of State for travel to foreign areas may not be exceeded.
