Travel and Reimbursement
Who Does the Council Reimburse?
All nonfederal Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) members of the Council, Scientific and Statistical Committee, advisory subpanels, technical teams, work groups, ad hoc committees, staff, and special consultants performing authorized services are eligible to receive reimbursement for limited per diem travel expenses when away from their home station or while away from their work location in the metropolitan area of their residence. Travel expenses for which reimbursement is allowable will be confined to those expenses essential to transacting official Council business.
In order to claim travel expenses, the claimant must have a current Photo Identification (ID) card issued and signed by the Council's Executive Director. Photo ID cards are issued to each nonfederal individual in the Council membership at time of appointment or interim benchmark. The claimant must also have a meeting invitation, which lists them as an attendee of the meeting, that has been signed by the Executive Director or his designee. Approximately three weeks prior to every Council-funded meeting, a memorandum is sent to the appropriate Council membership inviting them to attend. This invitation, typically in memorandum form, includes the dates, times, and locations of the meeting along with the allowable per diem rates for lodging and meals and incidental expenses.
