I have been invited to an event and the company has offered to pay. What do I need to do?

Create a package for approval with the following items:

Offer letter from the non-Federal source. Email, fax, or letter is sufficient.

NF 1167 — signature level is the Association Administrator for your Office Travel Orders

Non-Federal sources may offer to pay all or a portion of your travel expenses. There are several authorities under which travel costs of NASA employees may be paid by a non-Federal source. The most commonly used is 31 U.S.C. § 1353, authorizing NASA to accept travel expenses from non-Federal sources for employees attending meetings or similar functions. Other authorities not covered here include the Government Employees Training Act, the Widely Attended Gathering exception to the Standards of Conduct, 5 U.S.C. § 7342 dealing with foreign gifts and decorations, and the Space Act. 

31 U.S.C. § 1353 permits non-Federal sources, such as organizations, associations, or businesses, to pay the Government for the expenses of transportation, accommodations, and meals for Government employees officially attending meetings and similar functions such as conferences and symposia.  31 U.S.C. § 1353 is implemented in GSA’s regulations at 41 CFR § 304.1, Payment from a Non-Federal Source for Travel Expenses. 

The authority in 31 U.S.C. § 1353 must be used to accept travel expenses for attendance at a meeting or similar function.  Examples include conferences, seminars, speaking engagements, and training courses.  It does  not  include travel required to carry out an agency’s statutory and regulatory functions, such as inspections, audits, site visits, or negotiations; nor does it include promotional vendor training or other meetings for the primary purpose of marketing the non-Federal source’s products or services.  The event need not be “widely attended.” 

Under 31 U.S.C. § 1353, the travel authorizing official must determine, in  advance  of the travel, that payment is: 1) for travel related to the employee’s official duties; 2) for attendance at a meeting or similar function, and 3) from a non-Federal source that is not disqualified on conflict of interest grounds. Local Counsel reviews the arrangement, and, where foreign travel is involved, so does the Office of External Relations at Headquarters.  NASA Form 1167 is used to request approval. 

Reimbursement may be either by check or in-kind.  In-kind reimbursement (e.g., plane tickets, prepaid hotel reservations) is the most common method. Checks must be made out to NASA, not to the employee. Cash may not be accepted by NASA employees. NASA reports reimbursements under 31 U.S.C. § 1353 semiannually to the Office of Government Ethics.

Acceptance of Non-Federal Travel Assistance

February 2004

Definitions:

Official means activity is conducted on Federal time or as a representative of the Federal government.

Personal means activity is conducted on employee’s own time as his/her own representative.

Prohibited source means a non-Federal entity that: is seeking official action by USDA; does business or seeks to do business with USDA; conducts activities regulated by USDA; seeks to influence USDA’s policies or regulations; has interests that may be significantly affected by the employee’s USDA duties; or is an organization a majority of whose members are described above.

1 Employees and Ethics Advisors must also consider whether other conflicts of interest or other Standards of Ethical Conduct issues such as misuse of non-public information may be involved.

2 Employees may accept additional travel assistance while in travel status when it is offered from the same source if:

• the assistance offered is comparable in value to that offered to or purchased by other attendees, and
• the agency didn't decline such assistance in advance of the employee's travel.

Employees in travel status may also accept assistance from a source not authorized by their agency prior to travel when the value of the assistance is within the maximum allowance stated on their travel authorization. Such assistance is limited to meals, lodging, and transportation only, and the traveler must request agency authorization for acceptance within 7 working days after the trip ends. Warning: If the Agency does not authorize acceptance, it could require the traveler to reimburse the non-Federal source.

3 This authority may not be applied to meetings and similar off-site events as defined in 42 CFR 304-1. Questions of an ethical nature should be referred to the Office of Ethics. Questions of a legal nature should be referred to the Office of the General Counsel.

4 Acceptance of gifts to the agency are not prohibited if:

• The gift is from a State, local, tribal or foreign government incidental to cooperation in carrying out a Federal program;
• The gift is authorized by the express purpose of a statutory gift acceptance authority; or
• Acceptance of the gift is in the public interest because the benefits relating to the acceptance or rejection of the gift substantially outweigh the appearance of loss of impartiality on the part of USDA in its dealings with the donor.

5 This is based upon Office of Government Ethics guidance in light of Sanjour v. Environmental Protection Agency .

6 The prior approval requirement is based on the guidelines within the Supplemental Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Department of Agriculture.

U.S. Department of the Treasury

Treasury directive 12-24.

DATE : March 11, 2008

REAFFIRMED : March 14, 2012

SUBJECT: Acceptance of Payments for Travel Expenses from a Non-Federal Source

• Approve acceptance of payments or payments in-kind in lieu of funds by their bureaus from a non-Federal source, or authorize an employee to receive such payment on the bureau's behalf, for travel, subsistence and related expenses with respect to attendance of an employee (and the spouse of the employee under certain conditions) at a meeting or similar function, which the employee has been authorized to attend in an official capacity on behalf of the bureau; and

The authority of the Inspector(s) General is set forth in Section 3 of the Inspector General Act and the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act, and defined in Treasury Order 114-01 (OIG) and Treasury Order 115-01 (TIGTA), or successor orders. The provisions of this directive shall not be construed to interfere with that authority.

• ”Bureaus" include DO, OIG, and TIGTA. With respect to DO, the Assistant Secretary for Management and Chief Financial Officer, or the equivalent position, is the "head of the bureau" within the meaning of this directive.
• “Employee” means an appointed officer or employee of an executive agency as defined in 5 U.S.C. 105, including a special Government employee as defined in 18 U.S.C. 202, or an expert or consultant under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 3109.
• “Non-Federal source” means any person or entity other than the Government of the United States and includes any individual, private or commercial entity, nonprofit organization or association, international or multi-national organization (irrespective of whether an agency holds membership in the organization or association), or foreign, State, or local government (including the government of the District of Columbia).
• (1) An event where the employee will participate as a speaker or panel participant focusing on his/her official duties or on the policies, programs or operations of the agency;
• (2) A conference, convention, seminar, symposium or similar event where the primary purpose is to receive training other than promotional vendor training, or to present or exchange substantive information of mutual interest to a number of parties;
• (3) An event where the employee will receive an award or honorary degree, which is in recognition of meritorious public service related to the employee’s official duties, and which may be accepted by the employee consistent with the applicable standards of conduct regulations.
• “Payment” means a monetary payment from a non-Federal source to a Federal agency for travel, subsistence, related expenses by check or other monetary instrument payable to the Federal agency or payment in-kind. Neither bureaus nor employees may accept payment in the form of cash from a non-Federal source, and employees may receive payment for the bureau only in the form of checks made payable to the U.S. Treasury.
• “Payment in-kind” means transportation, food, lodging, or other travel-related services provided by a non-Federal source instead of monetary payments to the Federal agency for these services. Payment in-kind also includes waiver of any fees that a non-Federal source normally collects from meeting attendees (e.g., registration fees).
• “Travel, subsistence, and related expenses (travel expenses)” means the same types of expenses payable under the FTR, the Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM), and the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) for transportation, food, lodging or other travel-related services for official travel (e.g., baggage expenses, services of guides, drivers, interpreters, communication services, hire of conference rooms, lodging taxes, laundry/dry cleaning, taxi fares, etc.). These expenses also include conference or training fees (in whole or in part), as well as benefits that cannot be paid under the applicable travel regulations, but which are incident to the meeting, provided in-kind, and made available by the meeting sponsor(s) to all attendees. For example, this definition would allow an employee or spouse to attend a sporting event hosted by the sponsor(s) in connection with the meeting that is available to all participants. However, it would not allow the employee to accept tickets to a professional sporting event, concert or similar event, for use at a later date even if such tickets were given to all other participants.
• Title 31 U.S.C. Section 1353 authorizes an agency to accept travel gifts in connection with an employee's attendance at meetings or similar events. It does not supersede other statutes that permit an employee to accept travel reimbursements, such as the Foreign Gifts and Decorations Act concerning reimbursements from foreign governments and international organizations, or the Training Act concerning organizations exempt from taxes pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 501(c)(3). General Services Administration (GSA) regulations at 41 C.F.R. Part 304 (FTR Chapter 304) set forth travel expenses for which agencies may accept payment from a non-Federal source.
• As long as all the conditions set out in the FTR are met, a bureau may accept payments or payments in-kind in connection with domestic and foreign travel from non-Federal sources when the travel involves an employee's attendance at a "meeting or similar function" as defined in the FTR.
• (1) A bureau may accept payment for travel expenses to a meeting from non-Federal sources. Except as provided in limited circumstances (see FTR 304-3.13), an employee must obtain advance approval before performing travel paid by a non-Federal source.
• (2) An employee shall not solicit payment of travel expenses from any non-Federal source, but may inform a non-Federal source of this authority after receipt of an invitation from a non-Federal source to attend a meeting.
• (3) An employee (and when applicable, an employee’s accompanying spouse) is generally limited to the maximum subsistence allowances (per diem, actual expense or conference lodging) as prescribed in Chapter 301 of Title 41 C.F.R. 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.
• (4) A non-Federal source may pay for a spouse to accompany an employee when it is in the interest of and authorized in advance by their bureau, in accordance with the FTR.
• (5) An employee is not required to adhere to the provisions of the Fly America Act if a non-Federal source pays in full, or reimburses the bureau in full, for the cost of the airline ticket.
• Under the Training Act (5 U.S.C. 4111), employees may accept travel reimbursements from 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations consistent with Departmental and bureau procedures.
• Under the Foreign Gifts and Decorations Act (5 U.S.C. 7342), employees may, with bureau approval and in accordance with Departmental and bureau procedures, accept payment of travel expenses from a foreign Government for travel taking place entirely outside the United States.
• All payments accepted from a non-Federal source pursuant to the FTR Chapter 304 for an employee's or spouse's travel, other than payments in-kind, are to be made to the bureau. Any such payment received by the employee is accepted on behalf of the bureau and is to be submitted as soon as practicable to the appropriate bureau accounting official for credit to the applicable bureau appropriation.
• All payments and payments in-kind accepted under this delegation must be authorized in advance by the designated bureau official on a case-by-case basis, except as provided in limited circumstances in accordance with the FTR. If full reimbursement is offered, it shall be noted that the travel would be at no expense to the Government. Authority to approve acceptance of payments or payments in-kind under this delegation may be exercised only after legal counsel review of the proposed acceptance of travel expenses. Legal counsel's review shall be noted in writing. Where the payments are from a non-Federal source and where there is a conflict of interest, legal counsel's review shall be documented in a separate memorandum.
• (1) Support the mission of the bureau or substantially assist the employee in carrying out his or her official duties;
• (2) Attend a ceremony at which the employee will receive an award or honorary degree; or
• (3) Participate in substantive programs related to the bureaus programs or operations.
• REPORTING REQUIREMENTS . All bureaus are required to submit semi-annual reports to the Departmental Deputy Chief Financial Officer’s (DCFO) Office of payments received from non-Federal sources pursuant to the FTR Chapter 304 for all payments that exceed $250 per event for an employee and accompanying spouse. For the purposes of the $250 threshold, payments for an employee and accompanying spouse shall be aggregated. Bureaus will be notified by the Departmental DCFO’s office of the data required to be submitted and report due date.

Primary Destination

Traveler reimbursement is based on the location of the work activities and not the accommodations, unless lodging is not available at the work activity, then the agency may authorize the rate where lodging is obtained.

Unless otherwise specified, the per diem locality is defined as "all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city, including independent entities located within those boundaries."

Per diem localities with county definitions shall include "all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city as well as the boundaries of the listed counties, including independent entities located within the boundaries of the key city and the listed counties (unless otherwise listed separately)."

When a military installation or Government-related facility (whether or not specifically named) is located partially within more than one city or county boundary, the applicable per diem rate for the entire installation or facility is the higher of the rates which apply to the cities and/or counties, even though part(s) of such activities may be located outside the defined per diem locality.

Meals & Incidentals

The separate amounts for breakfast, lunch and dinner listed in the chart are provided should you need to deduct any of those meals from your trip voucher. For example, if your trip includes meals that are already paid for by the government (such as through a registration fee for a conference), you will need to deduct those meals from your voucher. Refer to Section 301-11.18 of the Federal Travel Regulation for specific guidance on deducting these amounts from your per diem reimbursement claims for meals furnished to you by the government. Other organizations may have different rules that apply for their employees; please check with your organization for more assistance.

First & Last Day of Travel

This column lists the amount federal employees receive for the first and last calendar day of travel. The first and last calendar day of travel is calculated at 75 percent.
