To make flight and lodging reservations, AUTEC is required to obtain Personally Identifiable Information (PII). How we collect PII will depend on how you communicate with us. We may collect PII directly from you by telephone, fax, e-mail, or your POC. We request that you call the travel coordinators office at 561.671.2741 to receive the most updated version of the Official Visitor Reservation Spreadsheet (or before you populate a reservation spreadsheet that you may already have) and be made aware of our new regulations for sending in and protecting the PII contained in the spreadsheet. Failure to send your reservation spreadsheet in an encrypted format may delay or prevent access to AUTEC.
Lodging information:
Effective Oct. 1, 2016, the rate for AUTEC's transient lodging will increase to $35 per person, per night, and The Distinguished Visitors Quarters (DVQ) will increase to $40 per person, per night.
The increase is not reflected in the maximum lodging authorized in the Defense Travel System (DTS), therefore travelers must enter the new nightly rate for travel after Oct. 1, 2016, on the "Per Diem Entitlement Detail" screen and select "Actual Lodging" in the "Other Per Diem Entitlements" section. This will trigger the actual lodging expense to flag on the pre-audit screen and the following statement should be entered in the justification field: "No lower cost lodging is available. Dining and lodging are available to travelers through the AUTEC contract. Rates charged to travelers are based on the actual costs of provided services."
Actual expense for lodging costs should be approved on the travel orders; after the fact approval on the voucher should be rare and due to unusual circumstances.
For questions on travel order questions, contact your command's Travel Office.
For questions on booking AUTEC lodging, email travelcoordinator.ctr@autec.navy.mil or call 561-832-8566, x7350.
