| | The Secretary concerned may authorize zero per diem or rates of per diem in lesser amounts than those prescribed in this Volume when the circumstances of the travel or duty to be performed so warrant and are peculiar to that particular� Service (also see par. U4105-D).� This authority may be delegated to a chief of an appropriate bureau or staff agency of the headquarters of the Service concerned or to a commander of an appropriate naval systems command headquarters, but may not be redelegated. In the absence of such an authorization, travel orders prescribing rates of per diem different from those prescribed in this Volume are without effect and the locality rates in Appendices B, or D, are used. |
