Notice of Amended Language for Civilian Personnel Per Diem 
Bulletins 195, 196, and 197

AGENCY: DOD, Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee.

ACTION: Amended language for civilian personnel per diem bulletins 195, 
196, and 197.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee is 
publishing amended language for the above Civilian Personnel Per Diem 
Bulletin Numbers. Bulletin 194, effective 1 May 1997, announced ``the 
ceiling on reimbursements for actual subsistence expenses authorized 
civilian personnel when traveling to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the 
Northern Mariana Islands and Possessions of the United States. For 
travel in those areas involving special or unique circumstances, the 
reimbursement of actual and necessary itemized daily subsistence 
expenses shall not exceed 300 percent of the applicable locality per 
diem allowance (rounded to the next higher dollar). For regulations 
governing maximum per diem rates and reimbursement of the actual and 
necessary subsistence expenses in the continental United States and the 
District of Columbia, see the Federal Travel Regulation (41 CFR 301-
304), parts 301-7 and 301-8 issued by the General Services 
Administration, and maximum per diem rates and reimbursement of the 
actual and necessary subsistence expenses in foreign overseas 
locations, see 6 FAM 150 or Standardized Regulation, Section 925 issued 
by U.S. Department of State.'' This change remains in effect. 
Subsequent Civilian Personnel Bulletins 195, 196, and 197 revised only 
the per diem rates for the non-foreign areas.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 18, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document gives notice of amended 
language for Civilian Personnel Per Diem Bulletins 195, 196, and 197 
previously published by the Per Diem Travel and Transportation 
Allowance Committee for non-foreign areas outside the continental 
United States. Distribution of Civilian Personnel Per Diem Bulletins by 
mail was discontinued. Per Diem Bulletins published periodically in the 
Federal Register now constitute the only notification of revision in 
per diem rates to agencies and establishments outside the Department of 
Defense. For more information or questions about per diem rates, please 
contact your local travel office.
