Federal Travel Regulation; Maximum Per Diem Rates

An analysis of lodging and meal cost survey data reveals that the listing of maximum per diem rates for locations within the continental United States (CONUS) should be updated to provide for the reimbursement of Federal employees' expenses covered by per diem. This final rule increases/decreases the maximum lodging amounts in certain existing per diem localities, adds new per diem localities, and removes a number of previously designated per diem localities. In an effort to improve the efficiency of the per diem rate-setting process, GSA has switched the per diem rate changes from the traditional calendar year schedule to a fiscal year schedule. Thus, the annual change to per diem rates will coincide with the budget planning process. Therefore, beginning this year, the per diem rates will be effective on October 1, the start of the fiscal year.
