Which individual is exempt from the requirement to stay in Government quarters or privatized lodging when TDY to U.S. installations?

The individual who is exempt from the requirement to stay in Government quarters or privatized lodging when traveling on Temporary Duty (TDY) to U.S. installations is a DoD civilian employee at a non-ILPP location. This exemption recognizes that not all locations are categorized under the Installation Level Performance Plan (ILPP), which typically governs lodging policies at certain installations. When a DoD civilian employee is assigned to a site that does not fall under ILPP, they have the option to secure accommodations outside of the mandated Government quarters or privatized lodging.

In contrast, the other individuals listed have different lodging requirements based on their roles and the policies that govern their travel. Uniformed members on official travel and contract employees may have specific obligations based on their employment status and the directives that apply to their temporary duty assignments. Government officials attending a conference also typically are subject to specific lodging rules aligning with their official travel designations. Therefore, the distinct status and location of the DoD civilian employee at a non-ILPP location grant them the exemption from these lodging requirements.
