    sistence expenses of up to $42 per day
    during temporary duty assignment in
    Washington D.C.  Employee obtained
    lodging at apparently reasonable daily
    rate of $13.78, but he spent between
    $27.10 and *38.25 daily for-meals and
    submitted claim for daily expenses at
    or near maimsu rate.. Employee is
    entitled to-reimbursement only'for
    reasonable expenses for meals since
    travelers are required to act prudently
    iicurring expenses. Employing agency
    muut determine what constitutes reason-
    able expenses for aeals under the cir-
    cumstances. 3-186078, October 12, 1976.


                2.  Paragraph 1-8.5 of the Federal Travel
                    Regulations requires that itemization of
                    expenses by traveler-on actual expense
                    basis shall be made in manner prescribed
                    by head of agency which will permit at
                    least review of amounts spent daily for
                    lodgings, aals, ad  all other items of
                    subsistence expense. Agency may determine
                    reasonableneass of claim for reimbursement
                    of aeals by traveler who itemized costa
                    of mails on daily basis since only daily
                    itemization-.cas required by agency reg-
                    ulations. However, itemization of each
                    meal would afford better basis for de-
                    termining reasonableness of claims for
                    reimbursement of amals of travelers on
                    actual expense basis.

     By letter dted  June 16, 1976, Jamies A. Stepien, an authorized
certifying officer of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB),
requests an advance ducision regarding the claim of Mr. Charles J.
Priuch, an employee of the NLIB, for actual subsistence expenses
incurred while on temporary duty.
