Effective February 7, 2016, unless otherwise noted, allowances and/or post differential rates are revised as shown.  These changes are issued under TL:SR-883. 

Please inform local offices of all U.S. government agencies at the posts listed in this cable.

Important: Read this entire message, as posts may be listed more than once.  Changes are listed by allowance or differential rather than by post.

Taiwan has been included, when applicable, under arrangement with the American Institute in Taiwan.

The Post (Hardship) Differential change for China is based on a Post (Hardship) Differential Questionnaire submitted by Guangzhou.   

The Living Quarters Allowance (LQA) changes are based on currency exchange rate information reported to the Office of Allowances as of the first Thursday of Pay Period 2 (January 28, 2016).

The Education “At-Post” Allowance rate changes are based on updated information provided by post for the 2015/2016 school year.

The Post Allowance (COLA) change for Cameroon is based on a survey submitted by Yaounde.  All other COLAs are based on currency exchange rate information reported to the Office of Allowances as of the first Thursday of Pay Period 2 (January 28, 2016).       

The reporting requirement for submission of the Retail Price Schedule survey for Yaounde is amended effective February 7, 2016, with TL:SR-883 as follows:
