SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The CONUS per diem reimbursement rates prescribed in Bulletin 24-01 
may be found at https://www.gsa.gov/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

[[Page 56630]]

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 Sec. Sec.  301-11.300 through 301-11.306.
    For FY 2024, two new non-standard area (NSA) locations were added: 
Charles Town, West Virginia (Jefferson County), and Huntsville, Alabama 
(Madison County). Maximum lodging allowance rates in some existing per 
diem localities will increase and the standard CONUS lodging rate will 
increase from $98 to $107. The M&IE per diem tiers for FY 2024 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.
