FTR 27-01.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CONUS per diem reimbursement rates
prescribed in Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) Bulletin 27-01 may be
found at <a href="https://www.gsa.gov/perdiem">https://www.gsa.gov/perdiem</a>. 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 CONUS location, agencies can request that GSA review that
location per 41 CFR 301-70.202. Additional information on the special
review process is available at <a href="https://www.gsa.gov/perdiem">https://www.gsa.gov/perdiem</a> under the
``FAQs'' tab.
After a rate freeze in FY 2026, for FY 2027 GSA will increase the
standard lodging per diem rate by $3 to $113, and 295 non-standard
areas will continue to receive a maximum lodging allowance higher than
the standard rate. The M&IE reimbursement rate tiers for FY 2027 will
remain at $68-$92, and the standard M&IE rate will remain at $68.
Other than the changes posted on the GSA website, notices published
periodically in the Federal Register now constitute the only
notification to agencies of CONUS per diem reimbursement rate
revisions.
Matthew Batzel,
Associate Administrator, Office of Government-wide Policy.
