4Federal agencies may submit a request to GSA for review of the costs covered by per diem in a particular city or area where the standard

CONUS rate applies when travel to that location is repetitive or on a continuing basis and travelers’ experiences indicate that the prescribed rate

is inadequate. Other per diem localities listed in this appendix will be reviewed on an annual basis by GSA to determine whether rates are adequate. Requests for per diem rate adjustments shall be submitted by the agency headquarters office to the General Services Administration, Office of Governmentwide Policy, Attn: Travel and Transportation Management Policy Division (MTT), Washington, DC 20405. Agencies should

designate an individual responsible for reviewing, coordinating, and submitting to GSA any requests from bureaus or subagencies. Requests for

rate adjustments shall include a city designation, a description of the surrounding location involved (county or other defined area), and a recommended rate supported by a statement explaining the circumstances that cause the existing rate to be inadequate. The request also must

contain an estimate of the annual number of trips to the location, the average duration of such trips, and the primary purpose of travel to the location. Agencies should submit their requests to GSA no later than May 1 in order for a city to be included in the annual review
