# 304-1.1 Authority for accepting non-Federal source travel expense payments.
Under the authority of this part and 31 U.S.C. 1353, employees may accept payment of travel expenses from a non-Federal source on behalf of their agency, but not personally, when specifically authorized to do so by their agency and only for official travel to a meeting. Except as provided in § 304-3.11 of this subchapter, the agency must approve acceptance of such payments in advance of travel.
