SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The CONUS per diem reimbursement rates prescribed in Bulletin 22-01
may be found at <a href="https://www.gsa.gov/perdiem">https://www.gsa.gov/perdiem</a>. GSA bases the maximum
lodging allowance rates on average daily rate, a widely accepted
lodging industry measure. If a maximum lodging allowance rate and/or a
meals and incidental expenses (M&IE) per diem reimbursement rate is
insufficient to meet necessary expenses in any given location, Federal
executive agencies can request that GSA review that location. Please
review questions six and seven of GSA's per diem Frequently Asked
Questions page at <a href="https://www.gsa.gov/perdiem">https://www.gsa.gov/perdiem</a> for more information on

special review process. In addition, the Federal Travel Regulation
(FTR) allows for actual expense reimbursement as provided in Sec. Sec.
301-11.300 through 301-11.306.
For FY 2022, all current non-standard area (NSA) maximum lodging
allowance rates will remain at FY 2021 levels. The standard lodging
rate will also remain unchanged at $96. The M&IE reimbursement rates
were revised for FY 2022; they were last revised in FY 2019. The M&IE
NSA tiers are revised from $56-$76 to $59-$79, and the standard M&IE
rate is revised from $55 to $59.
Notices published periodically in the Federal Register now
constitute the only notification of revisions in CONUS per diem
reimbursement rates to agencies, other than the changes posted on the
GSA website.
