Maximum Per Diem Rates for the Continental United States (CONUS)
The General Services Administration's (GSA's) annual per diem review has resulted in lodging and meal allowances changes for locations within the continental United States (CONUS) to provide for the reimbursement of Federal employees' expenses covered by per diem.

In addition to the annual lodging study, GSA conducted a meals study which resulted in new meal allowances for FY 2006. Bulletin 06-1 also contains a listing of pertinent information that must be submitted through an agency for GSA to restudy a location if a CONUS per diem rate is insufficient to meet necessary expenses.
