# 304-3.1 Acceptance of non-Federal source travel expense payments.

Agencies may accept payments for an employee's travel to a meeting from a non-Federal source under this part and in accordance with agency policy. Employees may accept such a payment only when their agency specifically authorizes such acceptance under the requirements of this part. Except as provided in § 304-3.11, agencies must approve acceptance of such payment in advance of employee travel.
