Sec. 92.69  Charges payable to foreign officials, witnesses, foreign 
counsel, and interpreters.

    (a) Execution of letters rogatory by foreign officials. Procedures 
for payment of foreign costs will be by arrangement with the foreign 
authorities.
    (b) Execution of commissions by foreign officials or other persons 
abroad. Procedure for the payment of foreign costs will be as arranged, 
by the tribunal requiring the evidence, with its commissioner.
    (c) Witness fees and allowances when depositions are taken pursuant 
to commission from a Federal court. A witness attending in any court of 
the United States, or before a United States commissioner, or before any 
person authorized to take his deposition pursuant to any rule or order 
of a cut of the United States, shall receive $4 for each day's 
attendance and for the time necessarily occupied in going to and 
returning from the same, and 8 cents per mile for going from and 
returning to his place of residence. Witnesses who are not salaried 
employees of the Government and who are not in custody and who attend at 
points so far removed from their respective residence as to prohibit 
return thereto from day to day shall be entitled to an additional 
allowance of $8 per day for expenses of subsistence, including the time 
necessarily occupied in going to and returning from the place of 
attendance (28 U.S.C. 1821, Supp. IV). Witnesses giving depositions 
before consular officers pursuant to a commission issued by the Federal 
Court are entitled to these fees and allowances, and the officer shall 
make payment thereof in the same manner as payment is made of other 
expenses involved in the execution of the commission, charging the 
advance deposit provided by the party at whose request the depositions 
are taken (see Sec. 92.68). In any case to which the Government of the 
United States, or an officer or agency thereof, is a party, the United 
States marshal for the district will pay all fees of witnesses on the 
certificate of the United States Attorney or Assistant United States 
Attorney, and in the proceedings before a United States Commissioner, on 
the certificate of such commissioner (28 U.S.C. 1825).
