Per diem is the allowance for lodging (excluding taxes), meals and incidental expenses. The General Services Administration (GSA) establishes per diem rates for destinations within the lower 48 continental United States (CONUS). The State Department establishes the foreign rates (for example, Canada, Spain, Japan). The Department of Defense (DOD) establishes non-foreign rates which includes Alaska, Hawaii, and all U.S. Territories. For more information on non-foreign rates, visit DOD's Per Diem, Travel, and Transportation Allowance Committee at www.defensetravel.dod.mil and foreign rates can be found at aoprals.state.gov.
