USDA amends travel allowances for certain inspection services
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has amended its regulations concerning overtime services provided by employees of the agency’s Plant Protection and Quarantine and Veterinary Services programs by adding or amending commuted travel allowances for travel between certain locations in Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico.
The agency identified commuted travel allowances as the periods of time required by inspectors to travel from their base of operations and return there from the places where they perform Sunday, holiday or other overtime duties.
