Maximum Per Diem Reimbursement 

Rates for the Continental United States 

(CONUS) 

AGENCY: Office of Government-wide 

Policy (OGP), General Services 

Administration (GSA). 

ACTION: Notice of GSA Per Diem 

Bulletin FTR 18–01, Fiscal Year (FY) 

2018 CONUS per diem reimbursement 

rates. 

SUMMARY: GSA’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 

per diem reimbursement rates review 

has resulted in lodging and meal 

allowance changes for certain locations 

within CONUS to provide for 

reimbursement of Federal employees’ 

subsistence expenses while on official 

travel. 

DATES: Applicability: This notice applies 

to travel performed on or after October 

1, 2017, through September 30, 2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

clarification of content, contact Ms. Jill 

Denning, Office of Government-wide 

Policy, Office of Asset and 

Transportation Management, at 202– 

208–7642, or by email at travelpolicy@

gsa.gov. Please cite Notice of GSA Per 

Diem Bulletin FTR 18–01. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The CONUS per diem 

reimbursement rates prescribed in 

Bulletin 18–01 may be found at 

www.gsa.gov/perdiem. GSA bases the 

maximum lodging allowance rates on 

the average daily rate that the lodging 

industry reports to an independent 

organization. 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 

location, Federal executive agencies can 

request that GSA review that location. 

Please review numbers six and seven of 

GSA’s per diem Frequently Asked 

Questions, at www.gsa.gov/perdiemfaqs, 

for more information on the special 

review process. In addition, the Federal 

Travel Regulation (FTR) allows for 

actual expense reimbursement as 

provided in §§ 301–11.300 through 301– 

11.306. For FY 2018, no new nonstandard area locations were added. The 

standard CONUS lodging allowance rate 

will increase from $91 to $93. The M&IE 

reimbursement rate tiers were not 

revised for FY 2018. 

GSA issues and publishes the CONUS 

per diem rates, formerly published in 

Appendix A to 41 CFR Chapter 301, 

solely on the Internet at www.gsa.gov/ 

perdiem. GSA also now solely publishes 

the M&IE meal breakdown table, which 

is used when employees are required to 

deduct meals from their M&IE 

reimbursement pursuant to FTR § 301– 

11.18, at www.gsa.gov/mie. 

This process, implemented at 68 FR 

22314, on April 28, 2003, for per diem 

reimbursement rates, and in 2015 for the 

M&IE breakdown table, ensures more 

timely changes in per diem 

reimbursement rates established by GSA 

for Federal employees on official travel 

within CONUS. Notices published 

periodically in the Federal Register, 

such as this one, now constitute the 

only notification of revisions in CONUS 

per diem reimbursement rates to 

agencies other than the changes posted 

on the GSA Web site.
