B-195366              DATE:   June 26, 1980

OF:  '-Wnusual circumstances of travel
      'Payment of actual expenses

  1.  The Per Diem, Travel and Trans-
      portation Allowance Committee
      (for uniformed service personnel)
      and the General Services Adminis-
      tration (for civilian employees)
      may issue regulations-permitting
      reimbursement to travelers on an
      actual expense basis based on
      unusual circumstances when due
      to the infrequency of travel to
      a given location consideration
      was not given to designating that
      locality as within a high cost
      geographical area.  Authorization
      or approval of actual expense
      reimbursement should be predicated
      upon advice from the Committee or
      the Administration, as appropriate,
      that the locality was not considered
      for inclusion in the list due to
      lack of information with respect
      thereto and will be applicable
      only to the specific travel under
      consideration.

  2.  Where travel is to an area that
      is not designated as a high cost
      geographical area but where the
      choice of accommodations are
      limited or the costs of accommo-
      dations are inflated because of
      conventions, sports events, natu-
      ral disasters, or other causes
      which reduce the number of units
      available, such events may be con-
      sidered as unusual circumstances
      of the travel assignment which
      would permit payment of expenses
      to an employee or member on an
      actual expense basis depending
      upon the circumstances of each
      case and the necessity and nature
      of the -travel.
