SUMMARY:

On January 31, 2012 (77 FR 4788-4798), DoD published a notice titled Revised Non-Foreign Overseas Per Diem Rates. The table on pages 4789-4797, titled “Maximum Per Diem Rates for official travel in Alaska, Hawaii, the Commonwealths of Puerto Rico and the Northern Islands and Possessions of the United States by Federal Government civilian employees”, published with incorrect lodging seasonal dates for some locations in Alaska.
