are traveling on Federal program business, automobile travel will be reimbursed at the then
existing IRS mileage rate. The reasonable costs of lodging, meals and related costs will be fully
reimbursed. However, such costs will be allowable only to the extent such costs do not exceed
charges normally allowable by the District in its regular operations. With prior approval,
commercial air travel is a covered expense, provided the air travel utilizes the least expensive,
unrestricted accommodation class.
