PART 2. APPROVAL OF CONTRIBUTIONS OR PAYMENTS

4-2.1. Agency responsibilities.

a\. Section 303(j) of Executive Order 11348 of April 20, 1967, and

the regulations issued by the Office of Personnel Management under
section

401(b) of that Order, prescribe the conditions under which agency heads
may

approve the acceptance by employees of contributions and awards incident
to

training and payments incident to attendance at meetings, under 5 U.S.C.

4111(a), from the organizations described therein. These organizations
are

hereinafter referred to as \"donors.\"

b\. Agency heads shall provide adequate safeguards to ensure that

the following regulations are carried out:

\(1\) Where an approved payment by a donor fully covers expenses

incident to training in a non-Government facility, or travel,
subsistence,

or other expenses incident to attendance at a meeting, the agency shall
not

pay for such expenses or shall recover payments previously made in the

manner described in (3), below.

\(2\) If an approved payment by a donor does not fully cover

expenses described above, the agency may pay an amount considered

sufficient to cover the balance of the expenses to the extent authorized
by

law and regulation, including 5 U.S.C. 4109 and 4110. If an amount in

excess of such balance has been previously paid by the agency, such
amount

shall be recovered from the employee in the manner described below.

\(3\) Recoveries of payments, as provided above, shall be made

in the manner prescribed by regulations of the agency concerned and
shall

be issued according to 5 U.S.C. 5514.

\(4\) No reduction in payment by an agency is required where an

approved contribution or award to an employee covers types of expenses

which the agency is not authorized to pay. For example, where an agency

authorizes travel expenses of an employee, including per diem instead of

subsistence and transportation expenses of his/her immediate family and

household goods and personal effects to a training location, no
reduction

in payment by the agency is required if an approved contribution or
award

covers subsistence expenses of the family en route and expenses incurred
by

the employee in establishing himself/herself and the family at the
training

location.

\(5\) Expense data shall be obtained from employees or donors in

such detail as the agency head deems necessary to carry out these

regulations.
