In June 1984 the Army rented a block of hotel rooms for employees assigned to temporary duty in Newport Beach, California, during the time of the 1984 Summer Olympics. The cost of the rooms should have been treated as a lodging cost for the purpose of determining the employees' actual subsistence expense entitlement. However, in this case we will not object to the Army treating the cost of the hotel rooms as an administrative expense since at the time the arrangements were made agencies had been erroneously advised that a recent Comptroller General decision allowed this procedure for lodgings secured in the vicinity of the 1984 Summer Olympics. The employees, there- fore, may be reimbursed meal and incidental ex- penses in an amount not to exceed 46 percent of the actual subsistence expense rate authorized for the high-cost area. This decision concerns the payment of per diem to employees for whom the Army leased hotel rooms during the period and in the vicinity of the 1984 Summer Olympics.1/ Under the particular circumstances, the cost of the hotel rooms may be considered an administrative expense of the agency and need not be charged against the actual subsist- ence expenses allowance payable to each employee. Consist- ent with applicable Department of Defense regulations, the employees may be reimbursed for meal and miscellaneous 1/ Mr. Bernard F. McCullough, Finance and Accounting Officer, Armament Research and Development Center, U.S. Army Armament Munitions and Chemical Command, Dover, New Jersey, has requested an advance decision on the claim of Mr. Adams and 46 other employees. The matter was forwarded through the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee and assigned PDTATAC Control No. 75-24. c~~os OECf!O FILE: MATTER OF: DIGEST:
