     Mr. Phillip D. Larsen of the Office of Management and Budget by
letter of April 26, 1976, requested our views concerning the subsis*
tence expense entitlement of Arthur C. Herrington, a consultant of
the Office of Management and Budget who maintains an apartment in the
Washington, D.Co metropolitan area.

     Mr. Herrington resides in Cohasset, Massachusetts. He travels
to Washington periodically, as his duties require. The apartment
maintained by the consultant is for his use 4ile working in
Washington and was rented prior to aployment by the Office of
Management and Budget. Incident to his intermittent services for
the Office, he was issued travel orders authori2ing actual subsistence
expenses not to exceed $42 per day.

     We are specifically asked the following questLonsa

          1.  Is a consultant entitled to subsistence expenses
              under 5 U.S.C. 5703 if he maintains an apartment
              for business use in the metropolitan area where
              his service to the Government is rendered?
