SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
[FR Doc. 2018–18040 Filed 8–21–18; 8:45 am]
Background: The CONUS per diem
reimbursement rates prescribed in
Bulletin 19–01 may be found at
www.gsa.gov/perdiem. GSA bases the
maximum lodging allowance rates on
the average daily rate that the lodging
industry reports to an independent
organization. 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 www.gsa.gov/perdiem
for more information on the special
review process. In addition, the Federal
Travel Regulation (FTR) allows for
actual expense reimbursement as
provided in §§ 301–11.300 through 301–
11.306.
For FY 2019, one new non-standard
area (NSA) location was added for Cobb
County, Georgia. Hancock and Knox
Counties in Maine were combined into
one NSA. The standard CONUS lodging
allowance rate will increase from $93 to
$94. The M&IE reimbursement rate tiers
were revised for FY 2019; they were last
revised in FY2016. The revised standard
CONUS M&IE rate is now $55, and the
M&IE NSA tiers are revised from $54–
$74 to $56–$76.
GSA issues and publishes the CONUS
per diem rates, formerly published in
Appendix A to 41 CFR Chapter 301,
solely on the internet at www.gsa.gov/
perdiem. GSA also has removed and
now solely publishes the M&IE
deduction table from Appendix B to 41
CFR Chapter 301, which is used when
employees are required to deduct meals
from their M&IE reimbursement
pursuant to FTR § 301–11.18, at
www.gsa.gov/mie. This process,
implemented in 2003, for per diem
reimbursement rates and in 2015
(internet publication) and 2018 (removal
from the FTR) for the M&IE deduction
table, ensures more timely changes in
per diem reimbursement rates
established by GSA for Federal
employees on official travel within
CONUS.
