GENERAL SERVICES
ADMINISTRATION
Maximum Per Diem Rates for the
Continental United States (CONUS)
Office of Governmentwide
Policy, General Services Administration
(GSA).
ACTION: Notice of Per Diem Bulletin 07–
1, Fiscal Year (FY) 2007 continental
United States (CONUS) per diem rates.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The General Services
Administration’s (GSA’s) annual per
diem review has resulted in lodging and
meal allowance changes for locations
within the continental United States
(CONUS) to provide for the
reimbursement of Federal employees’
expenses covered by per diem. Per Diem
Bulletin 07–1 updates the maximum per
diem amounts in existing per diem
localities. The standard CONUS lodging
rate of $60 is unchanged. The CONUS
per diem rates prescribed in Bulletin
07–1 may be found at https://
www.gsa.gov/perdiem. GSA based the
lodging per diem rates on the average
daily rate that the lodging industry
reports. The use of such data in the per
diem rate setting process enhances the
Government’s ability to obtain policy
compliant lodging where it is needed. In
addition to the annual lodging study,
GSA identified 26 new or redefined
non-standard areas (NSA’s). In order to
base its per diem recommendations for
those areas on accurate meal cost data,
GSA commissioned an out of cycle meal
survey in each of the 26 areas. For a
complete listing of pertinent
information that must be submitted
through a Federal executive agency for
GSA to restudy a location if a CONUS
or standard CONUS per diem rate is
insufficient to meet necessary expenses,
please review numbers 4 and 5 of our
per diem Frequently Asked Questions at
(www.gsa.gov/perdiemfaqs).
DATES: This notice is effective October
1, 2006, and applies for travel
performed on or after October 1, 2006
through September 30, 2007.
