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 in any 
given CONUS location, Federal executive agencies can request that GSA 
review that location. More information on rate setting can be found on 
GSA's ``Factors Influencing Lodging Rates'' tab at https://www.gsa.gov/perdiem. Additional information on the special review process can also 
be found at this website under the ``FAQs'' tab. Further, the Federal 
Travel Regulation (FTR) allows for actual expense reimbursement as 
provided in Sec. Sec.  301-11.300 through 301-11.306.
    For FY 2025, no new non-standard area (NSA) locations are added. 
Maximum lodging allowance rates in some existing per diem localities 
are changing and the standard CONUS lodging rate is increasing from 
$107 to $110. The M&IE reimbursement rate tiers are also revised for FY 
2025; they were last revised in FY 2022. The M&IE NSA tiers are 
increasing from $59-$79 to $68-$92, and the standard M&IE rate is 
increasing from $59 to $68.
    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.
