This amount is reduced to 50 percent from day 61 to day 120, and to 25 percent thereafter. The reduction applies to both the lodging and Meals & Incidental Expenses portions of per diem. This is a complicated calculation for 2006, because the General Services Administration has determined that per diem for the D.C. area (which includes Arlington and the Northern Virginia suburbs) will change seasonally. While M&IE remains $64 throughout the fiscal year, the lodging portion is $187 from Jan. 1-31 (total $251), $180 from Feb.1-June 30 (Total $244), $150 from July 1-Aug. 31 (total $214), and $192 from Sept. 1-30 (total $256). We do not have rates for FY 2007 yet. — James Yorke AFSA Labor Management Specialist Accommodations 4 U www.accommodations4u.net Arlington Residence Court www.arlingtonresidencecourthotel.com BridgeStreet Worldwide www.bridgestreet.com Corporate Apartments Specialists www.corporateapartments.com Crimson Temporary Housing www.crimsonworldwide.com Executive Lodging Alternatives None Georgetown Suites www.georgetownsuites.com Hawthorn Suites www.hawthorn.com Korman Communities www.kormancommunities.com Oakwood www.oakwood.com Remington www.remington-dc.com State Plaza Hotel www.stateplaza.com Staybridge Suites www.staybridgemclean.com SuiteAmerica www.suiteamerica.com Virginian Suites www.virginiansuites.com (843) 397-5714 (703) 524-4000 (703) 208-9110 (703) 979-2830 (800) 914-2802 (202) 986-0433 (888) 233-7759 (703) 354-4070 (202) 298-7800 (703) 370-1000 (800) 527-1133 (202) 904-2500 (866) 567-6264 (703) 488-6837 (888) 998-3265 (202) 223-4512 (800) 225-3847 (202) 861-8200 (800) 424-2859 (703) 448-5400 (800) 238-8000 (703) 461-1932 (877) 827-8483 (703) 522-9600 DC, MD, VA, nationwide VA DC, MD, VA DC, MD, VA DC, MD, VA VA DC VA DC DC, MD, VA DC DC VA DC, MD, VA VA CC, FC, HSI, SP, TC BC, CB, CC, HSI Varies BC, CC, CS, FC, HSI, PG, RD, SP, WD Varies Varies CC, FC, HSI BC, CB, CC, DC, FC, HSI, PG, RD, SP, TC CB, CC, FC, HSI, RD CC, FC, HSI, PG, SP, TC Varies HSI BC, CB, FC, HR, HSI, SP Varies CC, FC, HSI, PG, SP Daily/ weekly Daily Bi-weekly Optional Optional Optional Daily Daily Weekly Weekly Weekly Daily Daily Weekly Daily Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes 53 2 57 26 9 59 45 35 65 Inside front 51 42 23 69 63 (1) BC--business center, CB--continental breakfast, CC--conference center, CS--concierge service, DC--day care, FC--fitness center, HSI--High Speed Internet, PG--playground, RD--roof deck, SP--pool, TC--tennis courts (2) GS--garden style, HR--high rise, LR--low rise, TH--town homes
