# 302-6.10 Impact to TQSE reimbursement if relocating to, or currently occupying, temporary quarters in a Presidentially-Declared Disaster area.
(a) Agencies should consider delaying all non-essential relocations to Presidentially-Declared Disaster areas because the ability to secure temporary quarters lodgings in those areas may be compromised. If relocation cannot be delayed, or if an employee is already occupying temporary quarters that have been affected by the disaster in a Presidentially-Declared Disaster area, for temporary quarters located within CONUS the agency may:
(1) Authorize an employee to occupy temporary quarters outside of the proximity requirements at § 302-6.4; and
(2) Authorize TQSE-LP as outlined in this part or authorize actual expenses on an individual basis under chapter 301 of this subtitle, not to exceed 300 percent of the applicable per diem rate per § 301-11.17 of this subtitle; or
(3) Issue a blanket actual expense authorization for official relocation travel performed on or after the date of the Presidentially-Declared Disaster.
(b) The authorizations in paragraphs (a)(1) through (3) of this section must apply to a specific Presidential Disaster Declaration, and will expire one year from the date the Declaration is issued, unless an agency head or their designee extends the blanket authorization based on a determination of necessity. The maximum limit of 120 consecutive days that TQSE may be authorized is statutorily based and remains in effect in accordance with § 302-6.9. A blanket authorization issued under this section shall not apply to any travel performed pursuant to chapter 301 of this subtitle.
