SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    FAR 31.205-46, Travel Costs, requires that, except in extraordinary 
and temporary situations, costs incurred by a contractor for lodging, 
meals, and incidental expenses shall be considered to be reasonable and 
allowable only to the extent that they do not exceed on a daily basis 
the per diem rates in effect as of the time of travel.
    These requirements are set forth in the Federal Travel Regulations 
for travel in the conterminous 48 United States, the Joint Travel 
Regulations, Volume 2, Appendix A, for travel in Alaska, Hawaii, the 
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and territories and possessions of the 
United States, and the Department of State Standardized Regulations, 
section 925, ``Maximum Travel Per Diem Allowances for Foreign Areas.'' 
The burden generated by this coverage is in the form of the contractor 
preparing a justification whenever a higher actual expense 
reimbursement method is used.
