perdiem. GSA bases the maximum
lodging allowance rates on average daily
rate, a widely accepted lodging industry
measure, less five percent. 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, 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 https://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 2023, no new non-standard
area locations were added. Maximum
lodging allowance rates in some existing
per diem localities will increase and the
standard CONUS lodging rate will
increase from $96 to $98. The M&IE per
diem tiers for FY 2023 are unchanged at
$59–$79, with the standard M&IE rate
unchanged at $59.
Other than the changes posted on the
GSA website, notices published
periodically in the Federal Register now
constitute the only notification of
revisions in CONUS per diem
reimbursement rates to agencies.

involved in a matching program to:
1. Enter into a written agreement,
which must be prepared in accordance
with the Privacy Act, approved by the
Data Integrity Board of each source and
recipient federal agency, provided to
Congress and the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB), and made available
to the public, as required by 5 U.S.C.
