Access to records
GSA reviewed documents contained in the reading room to protect controlled unclassified, sensitive but unclassified, and for official use only information. While we are unable to make unredacted CUI publicly available in the online reading room, we can arrange access to the CUI for individuals who have a need to know. You can email r6environmental@gsa.gov to request this access. Hard copy records are available by visiting GSA in Building 107 7 a.m.–3:30 p.m. weekdays.
The files in this electronic reading room may not be fully compliant with the revised Section 508 standards — specifically, reports or appendices within reports from companies besides Burns and McDonnell or GSA, which are primarily dated prior to Dec. 1, 2020.

Miscellaneous
The documents listed under this tab do not meet the criteria established for the reading room and are therefore housed under a separate tab. In the future, documents of this type will not be posted on the reading room.
Traveler reimbursement is based on the location of the work activities and not the accommodations, unless lodging is not available at the work activity, then the agency may authorize the rate where lodging is obtained.
Unless otherwise specified, the per diem locality is defined as "all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city, including independent entities located within those boundaries."
Per diem localities with county definitions shall include"all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city as well as the boundaries of the listed counties, including independent entities located within the boundaries of the key city and the listed counties (unless otherwise listed separately)."
When a military installation or Government - related facility(whether or not specifically named) is located partially within more than one city or county boundary, the applicable per diem rate for the entire installation or facility is the higher of the rates which apply to the cities and / or counties, even though part(s) of such activities may be located outside the defined per diem locality.
