**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. 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.
