To:
(a) Financial Resource Management Manual, COMDTINST M7100.3A, Article 5-W-3
Ref:
1. Based upon the following information, your acceptance of a payment of travel expenses under
41 C.F.R. Part 304-1 is requested.
a. Name and position of traveling employee:
b. Name, address and description of the non-Federal source:
c. Nature of meeting or similar function:
d. Justification for attendance of employee at meeting: (State that the travel is: 1) related to
the employee's official duties; 2) it is beneficial to the Coast Guard; 3) it is for attendance at a
"meeting or similar function"; 4) it takes place away from the employee's duty station and that the
employee will be in a travel status.)
e. Justification for acceptance of travel expenses. There is no conflict of interest that would
prevent acceptance of payment. In reaching this conclusion, I have considered:
(Discuss: 1) the identity of the non-Federal source; 2) the purpose of the meeting or similar
function; 3) the identity of the expected participants; 4) the nature and sensitivity of any
matter pending at the agency that could affect the interests of the non-Federal source) (if
there are pending matters, describe them); 5) the significant of the employee's role in
any such matter (if the employee has a significant role, payment may not be accepted); and,
6) the monetary value and character of the travel benefits offered by the non-Federal
source.)
Therefore, the GSA Travel Rule and the Joint Federal Travel Regulations authorize
acceptance of the travel expenses.
