13  Unavoidable higher accommodation cost
  If the Secretary certifies that the Committee member is required to obtain high cost accommodation, an additional payment may be made to the Committee member in accordance with the following:
 (a) the requirement must be due to the unavailability of accommodation of a reasonable standard at a locality, which would have avoided this additional payment;
 (b) the additional payment is to be based on the excess cost of accommodation over the meals and accommodation allowance rate (after deducting the relevant "Total" amount in Table 3 or 4 (meals and incidentals) from the meals and accommodation allowance rate);
 (c) the additional payment is to be calculated on accommodation expenses and meals and accommodation allowance for the entire trip.
