Federal Travel Regulation; Reimbursement of Higher Actual Subsistence Expenses in Special or Unusual Circumstances

Résumé

This final rule removes the October 1, 1994 expiration date applicable to authority of the Administrator of General Services to establish, at the request of the head of an agency, a higher maximum daily rate for subsistence expenses not to exceed 300 percent of the maximum per diem rate prescribed in the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) (41 CFR chapters 301-304) for official travel to an area within the continental United States (CONUS) where special or unusual circumstances result in an extreme increase in subsistence costs for a temporary period. This action will permit the Administrator of General Services to continue to consider agency requests for a higher actual subsistence expense reimbursement rate for a CONUS location where special or unusual circumstances result in an extreme increase in subsistence costs for a temporary period.
