SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The CONUS per diem reimbursement rates prescribed in Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) Bulletin 26-01 may be found at https://www.gsa.gov/perdiem. 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, agencies can request that GSA review that location per 41 CFR 301-11.26. Additional information on the special review process is available at https://www.gsa.gov/perdiem under the “FAQs” tab. Further, the FTR allows for actual expense reimbursement as provided in §§ 301-11.300 through 301-11.306.

For FY 2026, no new non-standard area (NSA) locations are added. The maximum lodging allowance rates in existing per diem localities remain at FY 2025 levels, and the standard lodging rate also remains unchanged at $110. ( printed page 40366) The M&IE reimbursement rate tiers for FY 2026 are unchanged at $68-$92, and the standard M&IE rate is unchanged at $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.

Larry Allen,

Associate Administrator, Office of Government-wide Policy.
