OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 DATE: 167 MAY 5 1976 MATTER OF: Actual subsistence- expenses - Monthly hotel rental DIGEST: 1. Consultant who rents apartment on monthly basis for use in connection with his intermittent con- sulting duties in Washington, D. C., may include only one-thirtieth of monthlyrent for purpose of determining his daily actual subsistence expense entitlement. 2. Intermittently employed consultant whose duties require him to make recurring Intermittent visits to Washington, D. C., on an average of 10 days per month may not be given across-the-board authorization for payment of actual subsistence expenses up to $50. Federal Travel Regulations, paragraph 1-8. 1 contemplates that actual sub- sistence expenses, justified on the basis of unusual circumstances, will be authorized incident to specific travel assignments. The Assistant Secretary of Defense has requested our views concerning the subsistence expense entitlement of an individual who, incident to his duties as a consultant to the Department of Defense, maintains an apartment in the District of Columbia. The consultant resides in Boston, Massachusetts. His consulting duties require him to spend an average of 10 days each month in Washington, for which purpose he has been issued travel orders authorizing actual subsistence expenses not to exceed $50 per day, as approved by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee of the Department of Defense. As a matter of convenience the individual has rented an apartment in Washington at a cost of $260 per month for the sole purpose of residing there while performing his consulting duties. We are informed that the apartment is not used for any purpose other than as a residence for the consultant while performing his duties with the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The Assistant Secretary suggests that in determining his actual daily subsistence expenses the consultant should be reim- bursed for each day's lodging in an amount equal to the difference 9J~r9 7 ( J ' cello, I
