FSD 56.10 - Post Specific Allowance (PSA) - Appendix B
1.

2. As per FSD 56.10(b), Appendix B has been updated, reflecting 80% of return full (Y) economy air fare from the post to the employee's headquarters city. Where a Y fare is not available for a specific post, 100% of the Y2 fare is used for that post.
3. The table below reflects these PSA rates effective June 1, 2009.
