| San Bernadino | $83 | $99 | |
| San Francisco | $142 | $150 | |
| Mississippi | |||
| Lafayette | $77 | $96 | |
| Texas | |||
| Hunt | $78 | $86 | |

In New York’s Bronx, New York, Kings, Queens and Richmond counties, max lodging will go from $192 in March to $212 in April and May. It will go up to $224 from June through August and then $295 max lodging in September. In Pennsylvania’s Dauphin County, max lodging will go from $106 in March to $107 for April and May. Then, $134 for June through August and back to $107 max lodging in September.
Last September, GSA said reimbursement for meals and incidental expenses would remain unchanged in 2011, ranging from $46 through $71 for meals per day depending on the location, and $5 for incidental expenses.
