                    TITLE 5--ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL
 
                CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
 
PART 572--TRAVEL AND TRANSPORTATION EXPENSES; NEW APPOINTEES AND INTERVIEWS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 572.102  Agency discretion.

    Payment of travel expenses for any individual candidate or appointee 
will be at the discretion of the employing agency. A decision by one 
agency that payment is appropriate for a particular position does not 
require a like determination by any other agency filling similar 
positions. A decision made in connection with one specific vacancy does 
not require a like decision in connection with future vacancies. In 
deciding to pay travel and transportation or interview expenses in 
filling any position, the agency should consider such factors as 
availability of funds as well as the desirability of conducting 
interviews for a particular job or offering a recruiting incentive to a 
particular candidate.
